I'm on wireless-2.6, branch everything, git commit
7446b6c0e3b18fd2c5f9c406bb20841e6193d058
When I insert a b43 based card, I don't get associated
automatically. This happens:
$ # Insert the card

As you can see, I'm not associated. However, this sequence used
to work with non-mac80211 based WLAN drivers. However, I can actually
associate if I reverse the essid/key, e.g. first set the key, then
the ssid.
Note that the same happens if I let Debian manage the card. An excerpt
from my /etc/network/interfaces shows:
allow-hotplug eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 10.2.1.3
netmask 255.255.255.0
wireless-essid BLAHMUMPF
wireless-key1 s:11111
(the test above has been made completely manually, without this entry)
