Do you have a general weakness in WPA that you would like to share
with the list?

There is nothing seriously wrong with the security of WPA itself. What
is known to be insecure, more specifically susceptible to dictionary
attack, is WPA-PSK with a weak passphrase. But even a passphrase of 8
random mixed case alphanumeric characters will be relatively secure.

And if you want more security there's nothing stopping you from
entering the full 256 bits of entropy into your PSK or configuring
EAP-TLS, both of which will arguably protect your communication even
against a nation state adversary.
