I think I've located what the problem is. NetworkManager was hanging
around as a deamon and changing my encryption settings improperly
(turning off WEP) probably because of the NULL gobject problem. I
fixed my system to not run NM, rebooted and now I can connect. I'll
just get rid of NM since it is not needed for my application. Turning
off encryption gave me enough clues to blame NM.
