Hi Dmitry,
I took your advice and set my Linksys WAG160N to disable 802.11N and
now I can set the ESSID. However, while it associates without the
freeze and I can scan with iwlist and see all the available
neighbourhood Cells... dhclient refuses to give me an address.
At least the system doesn't freeze :^)
I see the following in the log:

I'm not sure what the IE unknown means.
No lease offers are seen:

No DHCPOFFERS received.
No working leases in persistent database - sleeping.
Setting a static IP doesn't work either :^(
This is using a Linksys WMP300N (Atheros 5416) and Ubuntu 8.10 beta,
2.6.27-5-generic.
At least you cured the freezing :^)
Cheers,
Doug
