I've never got it to associate with my wrt54g using the GUI in 2008.8 but with 
the old GTK image I could get it to associate using my manually created 
wpa_supplicant.conf and modified /etc/network/interfaces.

I used to see this sometimes with the old GTK GUI, but it's worked whenever 
I've tried 2008.8. Perhaps I've just been lucky. I _think_ the problem used 
to be that the GUI changed the power status, but didn't toggle the bluetooth 
reset line. Sometimes you would be lucky, other times not. I took to using a 
couple of scripts to start and stop bluetooth from the terminal which might 
be worth a try:

#!/bin/sh
# Bring up bluetooth - power up module
echo "1" > /sys/bus/platform/devices/neo1973-pm-bt.0/power_on
echo "1" > /sys/bus/platform/devices/neo1973-pm-bt.0/reset
echo "0" > /sys/bus/platform/devices/neo1973-pm-bt.0/reset

#!/bin/sh
# Bring down bluetooth - turn off the module
echo "0" > /sys/bus/platform/devices/neo1973-pm-bt.0/power_on
