Works completely fine with my D-Link DWA-121 802.11n Wireless N 150 Pico Adapter (realtek chipset RTL8188CUS) with WPA2 encryption. What's the power output listed on your charger?
The device in question is actually powered from an AV amp's USB output which might be a tad low on current for a Pi but it works flawlessly in WEP mode and wired mode, can't imagine WPA security would draw vast quantities more power?
Even if it did the USB port would shut down so the whole Pi would turn off, wouldn't it, if I remember the USB overcurrent spec correctly (and the amp follows the spec of course!)
Will try on the other Pi upstairs later, it's powered from a mobile phone charger.
Similar scenario with me and the pi itself. Was running it on 400mA's and Raspbian would run flawlessly, but XBMC's would either crash, or the kb input would no longer be mapped to interface commands (though ctrl+alt+delete would still reboot). I suggest you try to up the amps and see if your problem is resolved, then repost back here with your findings. Would certainly help the dev crew by weeding out a user error rather than programmatic bug.
OK, just tried it on the upstairs Pi and exactly the same with the Zyxel adaptor. Openelec V3.0.1 as it updated when I rebooted it, that one's always left on, normally.

try to use WPA2-AES on a "n" network this should work...
but some adapters are not good even if they have the same chip...
Spent a while this evening trying to connect up wifi on the Pi with Openelec 3.0.0
WEP is fine on router A every time but router B which uses WPA2 never hooks up. The lsusb output of both wifi dongles tried is as follows if that helps:
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0bda:8176 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188CUS 802.11n WLAN Adapter Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0586:3410 ZyXEL Communications Corp. ZyAIR G-202 802.11bg
Config is completely static, no DHCP, Wifi is configged in the primary network connection, ,no Ethernet connected.
