I had the *exact* same problem as Bill, with both Aironet 340
and 350 cards, using a RH 8.0 kernel 2.6.5 laptop.

I tried Adam's solution, and it worked... sort of. It detected
the building's wireless LAN and associated with its AP, which
is better than AP FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF, I suppose.

But I was hoping it would detect the encrypted wireless LAN
and its AP that are in the same *room*. It detected the wrong
LAN! I'm hoping that if I get the admins to un-encrypt the
wireless LAN in the room, then using 'essid any' will enable
me to connect to the LAN in my room.
