6.0-STABLE, iwi0, wpa_supplicant and WEP networks...

I have had this Dell Insprion 700m for six months now, and the only 
thing I have yet to get working on a regular basis (other than the 
integrated SecureDigital card reader) is the integrated Intel Centrino 
Wireless support:

iwi0: <Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG> mem 0xe0206000-0xe0206fff irq 10 
at device 1.0 on pci2

I am able for the most part to get it working with my WPA network at 
work using wpa_supplicant (I have noticed that it can't change to a 
closer access point, and tends to disassociate first)  However, at 
home, where I have no WAP or WEP, wpa_supplicant j:ust times out when 
associating with my home network (ploshnet) with the kernel spitting 
out numerous:

iwi0: fatal error

messages.  Here is a debug.log snippet from wpa_supplicant:

I have a trusty Atheros card that works just fine w/ the same 
wpa_supplicant.conf file, so I don't think the problem lies there.

Any ideas on where to go next?
