I have to capture it and will provide it;

WEP in general works; my AP at home is configured as WEP and the entries
in wpa_supplicant.conf are nearly the same, only the key differs:

# my home
#
network={
        ssid="tarara"
        scan_ssid=0
        key_mgmt=NONE
        wep_tx_keyidx=0
        wep_key0=xxxxxxxxxx
}

# Restaurante Odyssee (2007-11-18)
#
network={
        ssid="ConnectionPoint"
        scan_ssid=0
        key_mgmt=NONE
        wep_tx_keyidx=0
        wep_key0=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
}

but I will configure another AP to also use the same wep_key0, if you
think that the problem could depend on the key itself;

and I will check if I could get somewhere this model of AP for a test;
