It seems that there are issues connecting to a WPA (not WPA2) encrypted network as well. On the off chance that the router(s) themselves have something to do with it, the test configurations I've used are as follows:

Linksys router using WPA2 encryption worked fine (albeit with reduced signal strength--a known bug)
Belkin router using WPA2 encryption worked fine (albeit with reduced signal strength--a known bug)
Netgear router using 128-bit WEP and (after firmware flash/hack) using WPA, could not be authenticated/associated.

These scenarios are the same when using x86 or AMD64 versions of Gutsy.

As my experience with ipw3945 under the AMD64 version has been terrible--it doesn't seem to work at all--this is a showstopper bug on that platform since it's the only module for this chipset.
