	Hum... Would you mind trying Wireless Tools version 26-preX
(you can find that hidden on my web page), this looks like something I
fixed recently.
	By the way, the "key on" which give us the problem above is
superfluous, and you should be able to shrink the command to :
	iwconfig wlan0 key [1] xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx restricted key [1]

	Have fun...
