David,
I am pretty sure WEP key is inserted in correct format and filed in both 
drivers. In fact, they could connect to each other (implying WEP 
checking is passed) but connection would drop out as soon as some large 
amount of packet flow happening. After that, only resetting pcmcia by 
using cardctl could allow re-connection.
