Are you trying to connect to a hidden ESSID? If so, you might have a problem, I found that the above solution only worked for non-hidden ESSID's.  I'm also using the BCM4311 rev2 if that makes any difference.

EDIT: The hidden ESSID problem I'm having might be wicd related.  Haven't tried to connect to a hidden ESSID in any other way other than through wicd
