Maybe a bit late, but nevertheless:

You are connecting to your wireless lan with the gnome networkmanager, right? Just try to connect to your network and look at the debug messages.

As root:
Code:
tail -f /var/log/messages
And then try to connect to your wlan.

The networkmanager logs every step. So you will be able to see why it can't connect to your wep wlan. If not, feel free to post the output here.
