Intel 2200bg WPA Problem. Somebody please help...

Hello Folks,
 I just received my 2nd new 630M, after the 1st had "severe" mother board problems from the time I opened the box. So I have a 630m, a pretty decent machine, with a famous/infamous Intel Pro 2200 BG built-in wireless card. For the last couple of days I am breaking my head trying to configure it with my D-Link router (Di-624 Ver c) using WPA-PSK. I have another wireless machine with a Linksys card talking to my Dlink router using WPA-PSK without ANY Problems. I CAN configure my 630M (with pro bg2200) using WEP 128 bit key, without any problems whatsoever. THe card comes up, connects to the router, and gets an IP within a second (so it should). When I configure it (i.e. intel 2200) to use WPA-PSK, the card says that it si trying to acquire an IP. It tries for a couple of minutes but evetually says that it has "limited or No connectivity", essentially faling back to the defaul MS 169.x.x.x Ip address.
I have configured 8-10 machines (3 of them my own, and a whole bunch for a couple of friends) using WPA-PSK and never had any problems with it. I have tried everything I can think of. For example, from using very simple key (for WPA-PSK passphrase) to upgrading the driver on the card.
these are the versions
Intel Proset utlility: 9.0.2.1
Pro bg2200 driver ver: 9.0.2.31 (7/29/2005)
Power management for the card is set to HIGHEST
I see a newer driver on intel's website, but I am scared in downloading it from there as, OEM vendors, like DELL sometime make customizations to the driver. Since this is a dell machine, I downloaded the 9.0.2.31 driver from dell and installed it.
Can somebody please help me out? this problem is bugging the living day lights out of me.
Thanks
