Has anyone succeeded in getting this to work?

I have a fully updated Gutsy installation on a brand new Dell Inspiron
1525 with an Intel PRO 3945ABG wireless card.  I am able to connect to
my Access Point fine if I run the AP open.  If I enable WEP on the AP,
no connect.  I have tried both the network manager app that came with
Ubuntu and Wicd - same results.  I just get something like this in my
syslog:

Apr 24 22:30:14 dell-desktop dhclient: 
Apr 24 22:30:15 dell-desktop dhclient: Listening on LPF/eth1/00:1f:3c:28:be:d7

Apr 24 22:30:45 dell-desktop dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 to 255.255.255.255 
port 67 interval 2
Apr 24 22:30:47 dell-desktop dhclient: No DHCPOFFERS received.

I know that my keys are correct and I am able to make wireless, WEP,
connections using an old Thinkpad (also running Ubuntu Gutsy) without
any issue.  Because my Thinkpad has no problem,  and I get the same
results whether using wicd or network-manager, I am thinking that this
must by a card or driver problem...?

I find this very disappointing, and have no intentions of running an
open AP.  If I cannot get this resolved, I am afraid I will have to
return my nice new Inspiron and search for something that works :-(

Please let me know of any working solutions.

Thanks!
