Where do you have your WEP config settings stored? I'm presuming
/etc/pcmcia/wlan-ng.opts and here's what mine more or less looks like:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
# Note that for Debian this file is not used unless you also edit
# /etc/pcmcia/network.opts. Otherwise /etc/network/interfaces is used
# instead. See README.Debian for details.
WLAN_VERSION=0
WLAN_PATCHLEVEL=1
WLAN_SUBLEVEL=15
WLAN_EXTRAVERSION=
case "$ADDRESS" in
wlannoenable,*,*,*)
#=======ENABLE========================================
# Do we want to enable the card at all? Set to 'n' if you don't
# want the card initialized for normal operation. Helpful for
# (re)loading flash or for test purposes.
WLAN_ENABLE=n

#=======ENABLE========================================
# Do we want to enable the card at all? Set to 'n' if you don't

# (re)loading flash or for test purposes.
WLAN_ENABLE=y
#=======USER MIB SETTINGS=============================
# You can add the assignments for various MIB items
# of your choosing to this variable, separated by
# whitespace. The wlan-ng script will then set each one.
# Just uncomment the variable and set the assignments
# the way you want them.
#USER_MIBS="p2CnfRoamingMode=1"

# [Dis/En]able WEP. Settings only matter if PrivacyInvoked is true

dot11PrivacyInvoked=true # true|false
dot11WEPDefaultKeyID=0 # 0|1|2|3
dot11ExcludeUnencrypted=true # true|false, in AP this means WEP
# is required for all STAs
# If PRIV_GENSTR is not empty, use PRIV_GENTSTR to generate
# keys (just a convenience)
# PRIV_GENERATOR=/sbin/nwepgen # nwepgen, Neesus compatible
# PRIV_KEY128=false # keylength to generate
# PRIV_GENSTR=""
# or set them explicitly. Set genstr or keys, not both.
dot11WEPDefaultKey0=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX # where
this is my hex key

Does anyone see anything there that may be wrong? If someone could share
their config file(s) with the appropriate security settings removed, that
would be a great help.
Thanks again,
