Ok, so I have been trying to figure this out by searching google and I think what I need is:

"open system authentication"

as opposed to

"shared system authentication"

The network I am trying to get on is a hidden infrastructure network, using open system authentication with WEP encryption (with PEAP / MSCHAPv2... requiring a user name and password [which I have]).

I hope all that stuff I wrote makes some sense.
