Sorry for the long silence on this, I was busy with some other things.
But I've been playing with it again this week and uncovered some new
information regarding the failures.

I noticed the other day that the rtl8188ce was no longer having trouble
associating with this AP. After playing around in the router settings I
discovered that it works fine so long as the router isn't on channel 1.
So then I configured my other router to use channel 1, and then I
started seeing problems with that router as well.

I also tried the rtl8192ce driver from Realtek's website, and I'm having
better luck with that driver.
Seth,

Are those AP's 802.11n devices that allow HT features on channel 1?
I do not know if we support that or not. On my 802.11n device, it
automatically switches to channel 3 when I enable HT, and that
works.

I can connect to an 802.11g AP on channel 1 with no trouble.
Whether or not HT is enabled makes no difference. One is an older
802.11g router, and on the other I see the same problems with or without
HT enabled.
