Similar problem here using latest intrepid packages.

Success:
Can connect to unencrypted networks.
Can connect to my work's WPA network (not sure if WPA or WPA2).

Failure:
Cannot connect to my personal WEP 128bit box.

Or rather it connects but after a little while disconnects and fails to reconnect with an endless password prompt. How long the "little while" is depends on the traffic (the more traffic, the shorter the time between connect and utter failure). After failure, the only thing that makes it work again (since at this point it cannot even connect to an unsecured system) is to rmmod the drivers (b43) and then modprobe them.

I do not consider making changes to the AP to be a valid solution (although I would like to move it over to WPA for security reasons, my NintendoDS would then not be able to connect).
