It could be something to do with the wepkey not being programmed
correctly. I usually specify my WEP keys as hex strings. Couple things
I would test:

- disable WEP on the AP temporarily (if you can) and see if it will
  associate then
- use 'media autoselect' with the rest of your ifconfig options
- after a few seconds, do 'ifconfig ndis0 up' or 'ifconfig ndis0
  ssid xxx' a couple of times (setting the ssid is supposed to
  cause the driver to re-attempt to associate).
