Setting the channel manually only makes sense on APs or on cards running in
"Ad-hoc" (IBSS) mode. In Managed mode, the AP normally determines the channel.

Is your AP set to Open or Shared Key authentication?
If the latter, you should append the 'restricted' keyword
to the key in the iwconfig command used to configure encryption.

i.e. if your wlan card is eth1, use 'iwconfig eth1 enc <key> restricted'

If it still doesn't work, please send dldrconfig --dumpdiag output
to support at linuxant.com.
