Wifi won't connect with password

I have an Acer Aspire 3002LCi laptop on which I've installed Kubuntu 8.04 on a
brand new empty drive. It has a Broadcom 802.11g Network Adapter with the
BCM4318 chipset.
I have a D-Lind DI-524 wireless router. If I set Security to "None" I can get
it to connect. But if I set Security to "WEP", Authentication to "Open
System", WEP Encryption to "128bit", and Key Type to "ASCII" with a 13
character Key, it won't connect. It doesn't work with 64bit either.
KNetworkManager gives me the option of "WEP Passphrase" or "WEP 40/104 bit-bit
ASCII". Neither work when I type my 13 character key in the "Passphrase"
field. I even tried making both sides use shared key but that didn't work
either.
Any ideas? I don't really want to run with a wide-open router.
