More hostap problems

Machine 1: FreeBSD desktop machine with an MA401 in hostap mode.

Machine 2: FreeBSD laptop machine with an MA401 in client mode

Machine 3: Windows XP machine with a Dell branded Orinoco gold card

Machine 4: Windows XP machine with an MA401 (actually, machine 2 booted 
into the other partition).

Machines 1, 2 and 3 all talk to each other just fine.

Machine 4 refuses to associate with machine 1. It appears to seek to the 
correct channel, but the LED just blinks forever.

One of the more interesting things to note is that Windows XP has native 
802.11b support for seetting keys and discovering networks and the like. 
The orinoco card works with this support correctly, but the Netgear 
driver doesn't seem to do this. You need to use their stupid little 
configurator and the card looks to XP like an 802.3 card. Maybe this has 
something to do with it? Machine 4 used to work with a standalone access 
point, however, so there must be some sort of compatibility issue with 
hostap mode...?
