Well, that was a good idea, but it didn't work.  I simply cannot connect 
with any type of encryption.  There is a line in dmesg that says 
"Cleared all keys" before the card starts sending out sending out dhcp 
requests, so I'm guessing that is what the problem is.  And, the output 
from iwconfig says that Encryption is off no matter how I set up 
/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf. and I have gone all the way through the 
wpa_supplicant site looking for a way to enable it but been unsuccessful 
in my search.


WEP isn't supposed to require wpa_supplicant to work. Try by disabling 
wpa_supplicant. In the laptop running Ubuntu here, wpa_supplicant is 
disabled; the bcm43xx doesn't see that package at all and WEP works 
flawlessly. In fact, IIRC, I faced problems with wpa_supplicant, never 
got it working.
