It would be interesting to look at the iwconfig output at this point.
If "Link Quality" is still 0, there is no much use in running dhclient.
Run iwconfig as root so you can verify that the WEP key is correct.

And how about connections without WEP?

My understanding of the code that prints the above is that either the AP
doesn't support WEP or the client doesn't have WEP enabled. That can
include the case when some other encryption algorithm is active.
Just in case, please make sure your .config enables CONFIG_CRYPTO_ECB
and CONFIG_CRYPTO_ARC4.
