Dynamic WEP keys for wired network?? I've never heard of anyone using
WEP on wired network nor am I aware of any driver supporting such a
thing..

WPA-EAP should not be here; WPA is only used with wireless networks.

I would assume the dynamic WEP part is bogus and you would need to add
eapol_flags=0 to make wpa_supplicant not wait for dynamic keys.

This does not match with your command line above (eth0 vs. vlan1). Which
one it is? Is this with a created from eth0?

Are you using the same ethernet configuration (vlan vs. no vlan)?
