WE-21 uses the _real_ ssid length rather than the kludge of hacking off the last byte used previously. Please ensure that your tools, driver, and kernel are using WE-21. 'cat /proc/net/wireless' should tell you what your kernel is using. Getting the driver WE is a bit harder and you may have to look at the source.
