Please ignore 'broken'. I found that my 802.11b AP's minipci card had 
worked its way loose.
After rebooting it, I found I had to do the following to get 802.11b 
access point association to work:

ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ath0
ifconfig wlan0 mode 11b
ifconfig wlan0 channel any:b
ifconfig wlan0 ssid OpenWrt
ifconfig wlan0 down
ifconfig wlan0 up

Hope this helps!
