r1457 appears completely broken WRT unencrypted networks, and for
WEP-104 networks with hidden ESSIDs.  I've tried all sorts of
scan_ssid=1, ap_scan=1, ap_scan=2, but nothing makes the card associate
with wpa_supplicant.  WTF is the problem with madwifi here?  It's
completely inconsistent between driver revisions...
