First, thanks to Martin for a few pointers.
For the sake of posterity, if you want to set up linux-wlan-ng to use
128-bit WEP and still use Debian's configuration system (i.e., editing
/etc/network/interfaces instead of the /etc/pcmcia scripts), then add
something like the following to your 'wlan0' clause in
/etc/network/interfaces:
wireless_enc on
wlan_ng_key0 01:23:45:67:89:ab:cd:ef:01:23:45:67:89
Things I learned:
1) 'wireless_enc' expects a value of "on". Not a hex string, not
colon-seperated octets, just "on".
2) Set the entire 26-byte hex string (I still don't understand why that's
not 32) into wlan_ng_key0. I couldn't find an example of this anywhere, and
couldn't figure out whether I was supposed to evenly split those 26
characters across the wlan_ng_key0..4 variables (6 chars + a nibble in
each?) or if I was supposed to do something with "wlan_ng_priv_key128". The
answer: leave those alone. Just stuff it all into _key0.
In retrospect, the process was pretty trivial. Since I wasn't able to find
one example on all of Google, though, I thought I'd save the next person
some agony.
