Add the following lines to your /etc/network/interfaces:
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wireless_mode managed
wireless_enc on
wlan_ng_key0 xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
Also remember that some of these devices need a firmware to work with wep, the
is a debian package to download the firmware and install it. It is
automatically loaded when you plug the stick.

Yes, but the scripts in /etc/network/if-preup.d/linux-wlan-ng just setup
good defaults trough /etc/network/interfaces, please write your options
there. From the README.Debian I suggest you to try with these also:
wireless_essid
wireless_channel (if you are doing ad_hoc networks)

no, AFAIK
