With the iwlwifi modules in upstream and debian 2.6.24, I'm having problems associating with anything other than WEP, and WEP outputs a lot of debug info into syslog. I was once able to associate with WPA and WPA2 (under 2.6.23), but it wouldn't roam once it lost its connection first time, until the module was rmmodded and modprobed again.
