I am seeing the same problem.  I'm not sure if it is the wpa_supplicant or
the wiw driver but I'm stating to suspect the iwi drivers is at fault.

I have been able to accociate with WPA-PSK, WPA, and WPA2 access points
without any problems but I just can't associate with open ones. Who knew
open AP's would be the secure ones ;-)
