Hmm.. Is this AP configured to require Shard Key authentication for WEP?
Have you been able to use WEP with Open System authentication with
other APs? I've done very limited testing with ipw3945 and have never
tested Shared Key authentication with it, so I do not know what kind of
behavior to expect from it.

Have you tried associating with this AP using just iwconfig?

That "unassociated" text does not look very associated to me.. My first
guess would be that the client is trying to associate, but fails in
Shared Key authentication before association.
