SMC 2652W.  I can't configure the access point with a password,
because I don't think I could set up the card that way.  Or something.
I have it set up with 5 2-digit hex pairs, and set the key in
network.opts that way.  For example:

HOME,*,*,00:02:2D:*)
    RATE="auto"
    KEY="6c616e610a"
    ;;

and then entered those pairs in the AP.  (Key changed to protect the
innocent.)
