Are you sure you're choosing the correct passphrase type?

WEP 128-bit Passphrase
WEP 64/128-bit Hex
WEP 64/128-bit ASCII

I had problems connecting to my WEP network until I realised I was not
paying attention and had left it on the default "WEP 128-bit
Passphrase".  NM would look like it was going to connect but then would
fail.  WPA worked fine.  Finally I saw the "WEP 64/128-bit Hex" option
and once I started using that everything was fine.

Just a thought.
