I'm also having a problem, and was wondering if anyone knew what was going on.

I'm able to use my airport card (with WEP) in ubuntu when my router is in open 
mode. However, when the router is in Shared Key mode I can't get a dhcp offer 
from my dhcp server.

here is my /etc/network/interfaces entry for eth1:

# The primary network interface
iface eth1 inet dhcp
        wireless-mode managed
        wireless-essid NETGEAR
        wireless-keymode open
# wireless-keymode restricted
        wireless-key1 ################
        wireless-defaultkey 1


the ############## is the Key for my router, in Hex. I uncomment the 
restricted line, when trying to use the Shared key option on my router.

These are the important modules I have loaded:
wlan_wep          
wlan                  
ieee80211_crypt_ccmp 
ieee80211_crypt_tkip
ieee80211_crypt_wep     
ieee80211_crypt

I've also used iwconfig to set all of the correct options.

What am I missing here? What's the difference between restricted(Shared key) 
and open?
