I'm using a 3Com OfficeConnect WAP; I'm using what they term a "128 bit 
ASCII key"; entering `sometext' for the ASCII Key renders a 26-digit hex 
number. I can then type `sudo iwconfig eth1 enc s:sometext' and it works 
just fine. Alternatively, I believe you could enter the hexidecimal 
number anyway.

Try to make sure you're using a 128-bit ASCII string to start with, at 
least. (13 characters exactly)
