How did you generate the keys? What brand is the router and what brand/model is the wireless nic?  At my friend's 
and I admit it, on windows, I could not get the encryption to work until I literally coped and pasted the key from the 
Router into the configuration for the nic.  And it was a passphrase generated one. 

Also, on XP at least, I've seen that NICs can be set to any security protocol, Open, Shared, etc. and that the Intel 
ones at least, have an 'Auto' function (again at least on the one in the TP42 that b and g network ready),  is the router 
set to Open and the MPTS configuration file also set to Open? Or are you using something else. 

As for the SSID being unavailable, again, with the Intel Pro B/G wireless they are using the TP's these days, the 
driver's  utility shows EVERY SINGLE NETWORK with and without the SSID.  We found that there were 5 different 
networks with 3 of them not broadcasting SSID. It told us if they were B or G and if they were encrypted or not.  I wish 
it told us the channel in the same panel so we could figure out the frequency they were using. We even connected 
to someone else's G network at 54mb which had a hidden SSID with the ANY option. It wasn't even encrypted or 
MAC filtered!
