Comment 15 for bug 264104

associate=0 helps for me; I still have a weird race condition when I first
boot up since the wpa2 and non-wpa networks are both visible, and it
initially connects to the wpa2 net, then drops for the unencrypted net,
then tries wpa2, then drops, then tries again. Changing freq on the wpa2
net helped with that, but not 100%.

I think associate=0 being the default should fix the problem for most users.
