Looks correct for WEP.

Strange;  that means it did not associate with the access point (yet).
Maybe check the status again after waiting ~10 seconds.

Maybe you should be using wpa_supplicant after all.

dhclient was already running for wlan0, so kill it first:

$ sudo kill `cat /var/run/dhclient.wlan0.pid`

Then try to start it again:

$ sudo dhclient -v -1 wlan0
