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.
