I have the same issue. I find I get link-local connections about 50% of the places I try to connect. My home WLAN is using a Linksys 54g running Sveasoft. I have found that if I restart (unplug / replug) the problem is corrected for a few days. Not sure why this works. This solution doesn't help for access at public wireless locations.
