Different wlan chip, but the chip/driver might not be the issue...

Not good news if it's a kernel issue.

Yeah, I think my motivation ran out when I found that I could connect
without wpa enabled. Fiddling with kernels is not likely since I use
this myth box all the time.

Thanks for replying. At this point, I think I'll just turn off the wifi
when not in use (/etc/init.d/hostapd stop/start) since I only plan to use
it to sync the calendar/contacts/todo lists on a phone, and that's not even
working yet. Hopefully an upcoming kernel fix will take care of this
issue soon but if not, I'll keep bringing it up/down when needed.
I found an additional issue. Maybe as a result of bridging the wlan and
eth1 interfaces, the default route got messed up. I had to:
route del default and then
route add default gw <my gateway machine>
and then it worked again.
Thanks again for the additional insights.
