Just in case it helps ... I was having the same problem and the best way I found to get over this situation was just to remove:
#wireless-essid mySSID
#wireless-key myWirelessKey
then reboot. After that the icon showing signal strength appeared in the quick launch bar. Clicking on it shows all available SSIDs. When I selected my one it prompted for the paraphrase I used when I set up my WEP KEY. After inserting it I was connected to my wireless network.
I am running:
$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
