@ smgouda: This sounds like it may be the problem I was seeing. I
haven't done thorough testing, however.

What happens if you try to connect to an unencrypted network twice
(i.e., connect to an encrypted network, then attempt to connect to an
unencrypted network, then attempt to connect to that same unencrypted
network again)? It seems like this may have worked for me at one point.
Also, what if you try to manually unset the key using iwconfig, from the
command line ("sudo iwconfig [device-id] key off")?

Are you using the bcm43xx driver? Or ndiswrapper? And you are on
Feisty, right?
