No, but I've done it now ;), and it gives the same error :/ Here's an output 
of my lsmod (at least the relevant part):

Module                  Size  Used by    Tainted: P
hostap_crypt_wep        3212   0  (unused)
hostap_crypt            1648   0  [hostap_crypt_wep]

p80211                 18956   1  [prism2_pci]

And here's a ouput of my "iwconfig wlan0"
