Cannot connect to Deutsche Telekom Speedport with WPA

Hi, all:
We had been using a Fritzbox 7010 until recently, but it died. In the
interim, we are using a Speedport from Deutsche Telekom.
My connection to the Fritzbox worked fine.
I cannot connect to the Speedport, and I am the only person in the house for
whom it does not work (we have Windows XP and MacOS users).
I have been looking at the output of wpa_supplicant for hours, and cannot
make heads or tails of it.
The command:
> wpa_supplicant -ddddt -ctest.conf -ieth1 -Dwext 2&> out.log
output of iwconfig (when trying to associate it will show the ESSID
correctly but always says "Not-Associated").

Things I noticed:

Unfortunately, it doesn't tell me why.

Neither success, nor failure?

What does this mean? Is it relevant?

It tries to associate, then claims it is already associated. At no point
does iwconfig ever show that it has successfully associated.
> 1290757263.505808: Authentication with 00:1a:2a:3c:68:b5 timed out.

Blacklist? Why?
Sometimes, when it scans, I get this output for the SSID I want to connect
to:
> 1290757258.253370: 1: 00:1a:2a:3c:68:b5 ssid='Die3' wpa_ie_len=0
> rsn_ie_len=20 caps=0x11
> 1290757258.253380: skip - blacklisted
"skip - blacklisted"? Who is blacklisting whom? What does "wpa_ie_len" mean,
and why is it zero?
I also get this error message:
> ioctl[SIOCSIWFREQ]: Operation not supported
The log output is here (it was too large for the mailing list, though just
21k):
http://pastebin.ca/2003084
Additionally, these files are attached:
test.conf - the configuration file used
iwconfig.txt - output from iwconfig for the relevant interface
scan.txt - iwlist output for the relevant SSID.
I live with roommates, one of whom controls access to the wireless router.
That means that I can't look at the router and so I don't have any idea what
the exact model number is. The fact that I do not have a wired connection
makes troubleshooting this very difficult, as I have to save the log output
to a USB stick and then go to a computer with network access. Were it not
for the fact that my roommates connect without problems, I would have given
up and chalked this up to a crummy router, but since it works for them it
seems embarrassing and silly that it wouldn't work for me.
The key is verified good (I've modified it in the attached test.conf file
for reasons I hope are obvious).
Any ideas?
