I just tried it with WEP turned off and still no connections. I'm begining to 
suspect that the Broadcom chips don't support going from 11g to the 11b that 
the WAP provides. I'm able to "iwpriv wlan0 network_type g" but not 
"network_type b"... This kinda sucks...

Wow, I didn't know that. I'll spend a little more time digging through /proc 
tomorrow. Thanks Lonni
