Your *key* is 104-bits (26 hex digits)... there is a 24 bit 
Initialization Vector added to the key.

Double check your SSID on the AP and make sure it matches the 
'ifconfig...' you have.  Also might try explicitly specifying *which* 
weptxkey (1-4) you are using in ifconfig.

Also,  for what its worth my atheros cards do not work well in g with my 
AP (WRT54G)... I had to set it to b.  So you might try that till you get 
it on its feet.  Just my 2 cents.
