I am using WEP encryption, but can set up WPA etc etc. I did notice that when I was configuring the interface to connect to the WEP encrypted AP that it wasn't finding any of the WEP access point in the area. I might have to change my AP to use WPA as I am seeing that most people are getting bcm43xx working with WPA and not WEP. I could be wrong though.
