Try to narrow your problem.  I have had issues with wireless security  
in the past.  The way I got it working was to disable all security on  
the ap to get a connection, then work my way to the securest config I  
could get tell it stopped working.  Never give up!  If you compiled  
your driver into the kernel and you have a bin file that came with your  
driver it won't work until you make the bin file a shared object and  
put it somewhere like /boot/modules.
