Are you using ASCII WEP keys, as opposed to hex WEP keys? If
ASCII, another possibility is that SMC, like Linksys, is munging the
ASCII WEP password in some strange way. With Linksys hardware, you've
got to use hex keys to make things interoperate (as well as apply
Linux/FreeBSD patches to talk to a Linksys access point).
Hmm. If you're really desperate, this *might* be worth
investigating:
