It's a bit more complex.
You are trying to set a passphrase. This tells me that you are
not using plain WEP, but WPA. The Wireless Tools can not do WPA, you
absolutely need wpa_supplicant.
To set WPA, wpa_supplicant uses a different API than the plain
WEP API that iwconfig uses. That's why wpa_supplicant works and
iwconfig does not.
Now, why is the driver not accepting a plain WEP key ? It
could be a driver bug, but I suspect that it's just that the key is
not the right size. Make sure you have the proper number of bytes for
plain WEP (see iwlist).
Good luck...
