Seems like quite a lot is working.

One thing I noticed is that your iwconfig shows up as "restricted", mine 
shows up as open.  Maybe try

iwconfig eth1 key open
iwconfig eth1 key xxxxxxxxxxxxx

also

iwconfig eth1 ap xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

where xx:xx... is your access point MAC address

If nothing is helping I would start wondering about encryption being the 
problem, and temporarily disable it at the AP and with

iwconfig eth1 key off
