I only use WEP.  Here is my wpa_supplicant.conf

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1

network={
  ssid="a wep network essid"
  key_mgmt=NONE
  wep_key0=1111111111
  wep_tx_keyidx=0
  auth_alg=SHARED
}

network={
  ssid="unencrypted"
  key_mgmt=NONE
}

network={
  ssid="any"
  key_mgmt=NONE
}

Notice that my encrypted network uses shared keys.  You'll have to make sure 
your AP's configuration matches (either "shared" or "open").
