40-bit encryption on a debian using Apple Airport

[Mark Barr <MBarr@infoglide.com>]

I have no trouble getting my ibook2 with an aiport card to retrieve an IP
address from my non-WEP airport.

At work, I have no trouble getting my ibook2 to retrieve an IP address from
the 104-bit WEP-enabled linksys hub.

At home, however, if I enable my airport's 40-bit WEP, I _CANNOT_ dhcp with
it.

A look through my dmesg reveals these lines:

hermes.c: 5 Apr 2002 David Gibson <hermes@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
orinoco.c 0.11b (David Gibson <hermes@gibson.dropbear.id.au> and others)
airport.c 0.11b (Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>)
eth1: Station identity 001f:0001:0008:0046
eth1: Looks like a Lucent/Agere firmware version 8.70
eth1: Ad-hoc demo mode supported
eth1: IEEE standard IBSS ad-hoc mode supported
eth1: WEP supported, 104-bit key <==============notice this!
eth1: MAC address 00:30:65:24:DB:19
eth1: Station name "HERMES I"
eth1: ready
airport: card registered for interface eth1

Can surmise from this that my card is not configured to handle mere 40-bit
encryption? Is it possible to configure it for this? Can anyone tell me how?

Thanks
Mark
