I am a bit puzzled by "Bit Rates:0 kb/s" for cells 01, 02 and 03. I have
never seen this before. I don't think it is a good sign.

Is the "windows connection" from the same computer, using the same
wireless card? (I want to rule out the possibility that the AP uses
mac-based filtering to block you.)
Are you sure that Windows manages to connect to cell 01? In any case, I
would try to associate with the AP of cell 04:
iwconfig ra0 ap 00:05:9E:84:05:67
Then run "iwconfig ra0" again and post the output. (It is very difficult
to do a remote diagnosis without the full output of the configuration
command.)
Another thing: Which version of the dhcp-client do you have installed?
Please post the output of
dpkg -l dhcp\* | awk '/^[^D|+]/{print $1,$2,$3}'
