wpa_supplicant and WEP....

Hello,

I have gotten wpa_supplicant to work fine for WPA-PSK and open sites... 
but I would like it to work with WEP as well.  it appears to associate 
with a WEP site no matter what WEP key I give it.  But whether the key 
is correct or not... I can not get a response from my DHCP server.

My wpa_supplicant entry:
    (Note that no matter what I put for the key... I still get assoc.)
network={
    ssid="OfficeSSID"
    scan_ssid=1
    key_mgmt=NONE
    wep_tx_keyidx=0
    wep_key0="OfficeKey"
}

My dhclient.conf entry:
interface "ath0" {
   send dhcp-client-identifier "fangorn";	
   request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, routers, domain-name-servers, 
domain-name;
}
