Unless that's a typo, it would be /etc/wpa_supplicant not wap.
Also make sure you don't specify the 0x in wep_key1. Also try wep_key0 and 
wep_tx_keyidx=0. It automagically worked for me on one install.

That said, I don't have much luck with wpa_supplicant either, some cards it 
works some cards it doesn't and the output isn't very informative. Recently 
`ifconfig ath0 up scan' seems to make all network traffic stop, even if 
you're connected through a wire.
