Are you sure you're choosing the correct passphrase type?

WEP 128-bit Passphrase
WEP 64/128-bit Hex
WEP 64/128-bit ASCII

I had problems connecting to my WEP network until I realised I was not
paying attention and had left it on the default "WEP 128-bit
Passphrase". NM would look like it was going to connect but then would
fail. WPA worked fine. Finally I saw the "WEP 64/128-bit Hex" option
and once I started using that everything was fine.

Just a thought.

I am sure I tried that. But I was always filling in a passphrase on
the "WEP 128-bit Passphrase", and this key (generated from the
passphrase on the router interface) on the "WEP 64/128-bit Hex".

What are you filling in in the Hex key field? An actual key you got
from a phrase when configuring the router, or your actual passphrase?

Kind regards,
