I had the problem with both my APs. One is a Netgear 802.11n router
running the vendor's firmware with WPA2 encryption, and the other is a
Linksys running openWRT with WPA encryption.
The hardware encryption option might not be needed for WEP, but I have not
tested.
I cannot connect with wl on my machine. In fact, it cannot even scan, but
I'm only interested in its initialization.
