Trouble with ipw3945, plain WEP

Hello,
I'm trying to use wpa_supplicant with my Intel ipw3945 built-in
wireless card. The network I'm connecting to uses plain WEP, but I'd
like to use Network Manager, which requires the use of wpa_supplicant.
I can configure my wireless card just fine with WEP and iwconfig. I
get something like this:
eth1 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"MYESSID" Nickname:"localhost.localdomain"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.462 GHz Access Point: 00:0D:0B:4A:85:07
Bit Rate:24 Mb/s Tx-Power:14 dBm
Retry limit:15 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:1234-ABCD-00 Security mode:open
Power Management:off
Link Quality=59/100 Signal level=-72 dBm Noise level=-73 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:248 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:9151 Missed beacon:0
I have this in my wpa_supplicant.conf file:
network={
ssid="any"
key_mgmt=NONE
}
network={
ssid="MYESSID"
scan_ssid=1
priority=5
key_mgmt=NONE
wep_key0=1234ABCD00
wep_key1=1234ABCD00
wep_key2=1234ABCD00
wep_key3=1234ABCD00
wep_tx_keyidx=0
}
When I run wpa_supplicant, I get an "authentication timeout":
State: SCANNING -> ASSOCIATING
wpa_driver_wext_set_operstate: operstate 0->0 (DORMANT)
WEXT: Operstate: linkmode=-1, operstate=5

I'm not quite sure what the next step is in troubleshooting this. Any
suggestions?
Thanks!
