In the log shown below, it says that authentication, not association, timed out. Are you sure of
your WEP key? Are you using a Hex string, or are you using a passphrase? Is it possible to set your
network with no encryption for at least a test? If you can, that might isolate the problem to WEP
authentication. I'm using a Linksys WPC54G with a BCM4306 with WPA-PSK TKIP encryption, and have no
problems authenticating at 54M, now that I fixed a problem with scanning that was reported to the
softmac mailing list this afternoon. That didn't prevent authentication, but sometimes slowed it down.
