The NIC doesn't have to be associated to get the beacon frames. As Mike said, iwi is still deep in beta territory. A common workaround to get = the NIC to associate is to drop it out of autoselect using the "mode N" = argument to ifconfig. Replace "N" with "11a", "11b" or "11g", depending on which flavor of wireless you're using. BTW, WPA is broken.
