Cannot Associate to Wireless Access Point

Here's my problem: There are two wireless networks broadcast at my university: A WPA2 Enterprise one that takes a username and password, and an open unsecured one. I can't connect to either network: trying to connect to the WPA2 fails because of invalid authentication (even though I know the password is correct), and the unsecured one fails to get an IP address. This started either Monday evening or Tuesday morning, and the only way I've been able to get Internet access at school is by carrying around an ethernet cable.

Here's what I tried:
1) Different network managers including WICD, NetworkManager, and netcfg
2) Trying both the broadcom-wl and b43 drivers (my chip is a Broadcom4312)
3) Making sure wlan0 is blacklisted in rc.conf

Associating with the network worked fine before this past week, so I can't imagine what caused it. Anyone have any suggestions?
