I have the same Intel card and when I am near an weird access point i
get the same error messages but at home it works. Could be the AP what
makes your card crazy.
This is not good news. The router at home is running OpenBSD 4.0!
OpenBSD 4.0 router (P2-400):

We have a WinXP laptop already working through this interface.
On the Dell laptop running 4.1 snapshot:
