You didn't really tell us what the signal strength is between the card 
and the AP.

It could also be that the protocol used isn't enabled on the AP, (I 
usually turn 802.11b off).

What kind of traffic are you actually seeing on the card?  What does 
tcpdump or wireshark show?  Those packets may be nothing more than the 
wireless card send out requests for a good AP protocol.  Is the AP 
secured?  Do you have the correct encryption passphrase?

I mean, it really could be anything.
