I've had the same problem with my Linksys G card, and I've updated it to the latest drivers and firmware. In fact, now that I think of it, I used to be able to get on that AP and perhaps updating the firmware is what has caused the problem. Anyway, it's not limited to Apple's G, nor, as far as I'm concerned, any design decision Apple made. I can associate with APs in every other Dunn Bros. I've tried, except for the Como Ave. location, which appears to have the same problem. As a result, I always travel with a backup B card. Perhaps someone would like to approach Dunn Bros. and/or SurfThing on behalf of the group?

This was a poor design decision on apple's part. One of the problems with early adopter syndrome. There may be firmware updates for the dunn bro's AP's that would fix the problem, but I have not heard of anyone getting them to update. Also, there may be apple updates to the cards.. - -ben "Unix is user friendly, Its just picky about its friends."
