 WEP in general works; my AP at home is configured as WEP and the entries
 in wpa_supplicant.conf are nearly the same, only the key differs:
 
 # my home
 #
 network={
         ssid="tarara"
         scan_ssid=0
         key_mgmt=NONE
         wep_tx_keyidx=0
         wep_key0=xxxxxxxxxx
 }
 
 # Restaurante Odyssee (2007-11-18)
 #
 network={
         ssid="ConnectionPoint"
         scan_ssid=0
         key_mgmt=NONE
         wep_tx_keyidx=0
         wep_key0=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 }
 
 but I will configure another AP to also use the same wep_key0, if you
 think that the problem could depend on the key itself;
 
 and I will check if I could get somewhere this model of AP for a test;
