You will need stationary firmware version 1.7.0 or newer in order to get WEP to work on prism2 cards. The linux-wlan-ng package has tools for loading newer firmware into the card RAM (without flashing), but I don't know how well this works for PCI cards. Generally we only recommend linux-wlan-ng for the USB cards, and the others should work better with hostap.

You could try prism2 by installing the linux-wlan-ng-source package and build for PCI (default is USB only). But I'd say you'd rather try to get hostap to work.
