I've successfully loaded the linksys drivers with driverloader, and when I turn off authentication in the AP I connect fine (using SSID broadcast both on and off).  I build wpa_supplicant with the default .config.  My wpa_supplicant.conf contains:

You must have ssid broadcasting enabled to the router.  Below is what I 
use for my wpa_supplicant.conf. I could not get AES to work but TKIP 
works fine.

network={
        ssid="myssid"
        scan_ssid=0
        pairwise=TKIP
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
        psk="mypsk"
}
