Getting wifi to work

Hello.
Despite the fact, that I'm not yet able to install Ubuntu on my HD, I'd
like to get my wireless card to work.
I'm using a "Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212 802.11abg NIC (rev 01)"
which uses the madwifi driver. The AP is a Linksys WRT-54GS running
OpenWrt firmware. I'm using WEP.
According to <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Madwifi>, I need
to do "sudo iwpriv authmode 2", as I'm using WEP. After I ran that command,
which returned nothing and I thus expect that it succeeded, I started
the network admin tool from (System)->(Administration)->(Networking) and
selected the ath0 device, which got created automatically during boot.
I then selected "settings" and entered my hex WEP key. For the key, I
tried it with and without dashes, ie.
3D26-72EE-AFFE-7EE1-5FDD-8A1E-77
3D2672EEAFFE7EE15FDD8A1E77
(that's not the actual key...). When I then activated ath0, it took
quite some time and in /var/log/daemon.log I could see, that dhclient
was trying to get a DHCP response. It didn't get one.
Well - what to do next?
Thanks,
Alexander Skwar
