Is the channel correct?
yes, it is, without wep works well
Do you have an active firewall that could be blocking the wireless

no, I don't have any firewall active
authmode OPEN is the problem, because ifconfig can not set to SHARED automatically or manually !
do you have authmode OPEN and you use a shared key ?
I don't thonk so.
