Make sure that sit0 really is the name of the device.

I do not understand what you are doing in the above....

My wireless network is configured as follows:

Name of the Network (configured on the router): foo-net
Encryption: WEP
First WEP-Key: 1BA45646

Thus, as root you type the following:
# iwconfig sit0 essid foo-net key 1BA45646
# dhclient sit0

On my system "essid" is not alway set propererly therefore
check with by doing iwconfig sit0.
