[gentoo-user] Can't connect to router with 3 different interfaces

[Grant]

I have 2 different USB wireless network adapters and an internal PCIe
adapter and none will connect to a Jazztel router I need to connect to
on the road.  I've tried several different kernels.  I've tried
restarting the router and I've verified that the WEP password is
correct by logging into the router itself (good ol' admin/admin) but
wicd always gives me the "bad password" message.  dmesg isn't very
informative.  All I get is from the internal adapter (with debugging
enabled for the driver) after each failure is:

L1 Disabled: Enabling L0S
Radio type=0x1-0x2-0x0
wlan0: link is not ready

Does anyone know how to figure this out?
