This a fifferent device, and different machine, but could tell you if device is working in non ap mode
/etc/conf.d/netcfg

/etc/network.d/wireless-wpa
NETWORKS=(wireless-wpa ethernet-dhcp)
CONNECTION='wireless'
DESCRIPTION='A simple WPA encrypted wireless connection'
INTERFACE='wlan0'
SECURITY='wpa'
PRE_UP="sleep 6"
ESSID='homewireless'
## Uncomment if the supplied ESSID is hexadecimal
#ESSID_TYPE='hex'
KEY='mysecretpassword'
IP='dhcp'

That's it, enable netcfg
The sleep 6 is because hardware not fully detected before network brought up
Bridge does work, btw

I configured the Netgear WG111v2 adapter using netcfg (instead of wicd) and got it working without much trouble. Thanks for the netcfg configuration, pepedog. I had some issues with another USB wifi device (AirLink101 AWLL5099) when trying to set it up with wicd, but it also was able to get it working when using netcfg. Now I am wondering if there is something going on with wicd that was causing issues.
