First cause to check is authentication keys. I'm going to assume you're using
WEP, in which case the nr.1 cause with wpa_supplicant is that you're trying
to use wepkey1 rather then wepkey0. It should look like this:
wep_key0=FE0lblablablehexkey
wep_tx_keyidx=0
If it's not wep you're using, now would be a good time to mention what you are
using :)
