Ok, by your description it looks like the problem is with driver (or may
be with iwconfig). Encryption mode is set after a key is configured so
according to iwconfig's man pages encryption should be turned off in your
case. 

However the driver used in current public release of WISP-Dist is quite
old - I was waiting for things to get stable. I have a new test image,
e-mail off-list and I will give it to you for testing.
