WPA2 CCMP issues with netcfg 2.8.3

I'm on a machine with RT2860 network interface, however because networkmanager kept dropping the connection and made it roughly 5x slower than on any other OS, I decided to move to netcfg.  After setting up the profile the way that arch wiki suggested, I kept getting an error from netcfg saying that "Authentication/Association failed".  Did I do something wrong with my configuration?  My router says WPA2-PSK security with AES (So I assume CCMP keypairing).  I suspect that the problem could be from my configuration, So I have included my rc.conf Daemon line, my network profile for netcfg, and the network block from wpa_supplicant.conf.

DAEMONS=(hwclock syslog-ng dbus slim !networkmanager @net-profiles @net-auto-wireless netfs crond)

Network Profile:

CONNECTION="wireless"
DESCRIPTION="Automatically generated profile"
INTERFACE=ra0
HOSTNAME=Arch
IP="dhcp"
DHCP_TIMEOUT=10
ESSID="networkname"
SECURITY="WPA-CONFIG"
KEY="passwordinplaintext" /* also tried the password hash generated by 'wpa_passphrase networkname "passwordinplaintext" ' */
SCAN="NO"
TIMEOUT=15
WPA_CONF="/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf"

On a side note, my wireless interface is not wlan0, but ra0

Network block from /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf:

network={
	ssid="networkname"
	#psk="passwordinplaintext"
	proto=RSN
	key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
	pairwise=CCMP TKIP
	group=CCMP TKIP
	psk=787d139150drandom56gibberish4715290ac6c523
