Try changing : wepkey 0x1234567890 into :
weptxkey 1 wepkey 1:0x1234567890

Which tells the device to use key 1, and then specifies key 1.
You need to start the argument of "wepkey" with the key number, it's a bit 
confusing.

"remove" isn't a valid option to ifconfig. If you want to remove the 
ip-address you have assigned to ath0, try :
ifconfig ath0 delete 192.168.2.180
or
ifconfig ath0 delete
(to delete all addresses assigned to ath0)

Try the above, if something fails, let me (and the list) know.

A last tip :
You can turn on/off the wireless card by entering :
ifconfig ath0 down
ifconfig ath0 up
