I have similar experience with my tp-42 laptop with ipw2200.
I CAN connect to the wireless at school with vpnc. Wired is also ok. I cannot connect at home wher we use WEP. we dont transmit the essid.
1. i am surprised that i was never asked for a password (even to generate) by the keyring manager. I have installed it and its there...

2. nm-applet shows the network (after i enter the essid and hex key)
but there is no signal. I could see all the network from our neighbors with the signal strength. When i try to connect using nm-applet then it repeatedly keep asking the WEP key with no result.

3. wireless without encryption is ok as far as i could see...
