Comment 7 Dan Williams 2011-10-25 15:40:38 UTC 
How are you entering the WEP key?  as a passphrase or as a hex wep key?  If the WEP passphrase/key is wrong the symptom is a successful connection but no DHCP or traffic.
Comment 23 Vladimir Benes 2011-11-09 09:25:19 UTC 
my AP was badly configured, as the passphrase typo of WEP is using md5. now it works
