I have the same issue. One router is connect to the WAN network, other one is set as repeater (ssid: Gargoyle). Windows boxes are able to connect to the network although they are not able to obtain IP configuration via DHCP. This is probably due to some mistake in cnfiguration but if IPs are supplied manualy everything works on win. On Ubuntu I cannot connect, it takes some time to connect but finally I'm asked about password. Android phones are able to connect too.

For 1/2 year ive tried different settings and setups. So now i have HEX 128bit open WEP key (couse my repeater has only wep repeating or no key repeating function) and repeater has same HEX 128bit open WEP. Android was allways even with noncopatible options able to connect. Like Hex key shared repeated open but on Android i put ASCII. Now i just tried on WIndows and its working. So theres big problem in Ubuntu- cant connect no way to repeater.
