I have had success using linux-wlan-ng in various encrypted
environments. Things to watch out for:
1. Apple Airports use a different string->hex convertion
for WEP keys. You need to set the explicit HEX digits
as given in the airport control panel.
2. There are problem with ifupdown-roaming and wlan-ng.
If you simply don't do mapping on wlan0 this problem
doesn't appear. (i think ifupdown-roaming assumes iwconfig).
