In your dmesg output, you should see something like b43-phy0 debug: Using hardware based encryption for keyidx: 0, mac: ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff eth1: Initial auth_alg=0 eth1: authenticate with AP 00:14:bf:85:49:fa eth1: RX authentication from 00:14:bf:85:49:fa (alg=0 transaction=2 status=0) eth1: authenticated eth1: associate with AP 00:14:bf:85:49:fa eth1: RX AssocResp from 00:14:bf:85:49:fa (capab=0x431 status=0 aid=1) eth1: associated In your case, it will say wlan0 rather than eth1. If you are not getting authentication, the problem is likely in your WEP key. How are you setting that? If you are trying to use a passphrase, your AP and NetworkManager may not be converting to a hex key using the same algorithm. When I use WEP, I enter a passphrase into my AP, but write down the hex key and use that on all the computers. Incidentally, are you aware that you published your encryption key for the entire world to see?
