Mine goes like this:

kernel: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth1: link is not ready
kernel: SoftMAC: Associate: Scanning for networks first.
kernel: SoftMAC: Start scanning with channel: 1
kernel: SoftMAC: Scanning 14 channels
kernel: SoftMAC: Scanning finished
kernel: SoftMAC: Queueing Authentication Request to 00:12:17:0d:b5:59
kernel: SoftMAC: Cannot associate without being authenticated, requested
authentication
kernel: SoftMAC: Already requested authentication, waiting...
kernel: SoftMAC: Sent Authentication Request to 00:12:17:0d:b5:59.
kernel: SoftMAC: Open Authentication completed with 00:12:17:0d:b5:59
kernel: SoftMAC: sent association request!
kernel: SoftMAC: associated!

See the difference ?  It looks to me like the card itself is working
properly, but something is preventing the linkup between the wifi card
and the router.

Try removing encryption.
