I do have wpa_supplicant installed & now that I'm looking at it, its also an
issue with WEP (hidden SSID).  It will not connect either.  When I run
iwconfig, it shows two adapters, wifi0 & wlan0.

btw, I'm using an Intersil Prisim 2.5 Mini-PCI card.  The driver is
hostap_pci.  I also tried WCID and got the same connection issue.
