My guest network has no password, no WEP or WPA-PSK, thus no encryption, right?

IIRC, the Lucent Bronze card does not support ANY kind of encryption.

And yes, no matter what card you are using, setup and the initial
connection is so much easier if the network encryption is off while
you are doing it.
