have you tried software-based WEP?
$ man 8 wicontrol
-x 0|1 [Prism2/Symbol only] Select between firmware-based (0) and soft-
ware-based (1) WEP. Firmware-based WEP is the default.
if it works better, add to /etc/hostname.wi0 something like:
!/sbin/wicontrol \$if -x1
this fixed my very similar problem with a NetGear MA401 doing hostap . .
