Yep, it works fine for me; it accepts the exact command that you
specific without any errors:

# iwconfig eth1 key 123456
# iwconfig eth1           

eth1      unassociated  ESSID:"test"  Nickname:"ipw2100"
          Encryption key:1234-5600-00   Security mode:open

I'm using linux-image-2.6.15-1-686, with the built-in ipw2100 module
under Debian sid.

This is my wireless card:

0000:02:0b.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter (rev 04)

(Oh, BTW, I presume you know that WEP is next to useless, right?) ;)

Cheers,

Paul.
