Blank ascii key in hex for iwconfig

Surely this fool question has been answered more than one time, but I'm not used to this language a did not find the topic. Excuse me.
It's just that I work in a WEP key protected network with a GüindousXP. I don't know how they maintain security because although there is no important data there is no net password too.
I connect with GüindousXP by simply clicking accept button --> pathetic.
The problem comes when I want to connect my Sarge Debian. I have this in my /etc/network/interfaces

auto ra0
iface ra0 inet dhcp
name MYNAME
wireless_essid NETESSID
wireless_key "s:"
wireless_mode Managed
wireless_rate auto
wireless_rts auto
wireless_channel 6


I know it is wrong as I can't connect this way. I receive
Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :
invalid argument "s:".

I tried to fill 5 to 13 positions in ascii spaces or HEX %20
iwconfig Wireless-Tools version 27
Compatible with Wireless Extension v11 to v17.

Kernel Currently compiled with Wireless Extension v16.

ra0 Recommend Wireless Extension v14 or later,
Currently compiled with Wireless Extension v16.

2.6.8-2-386 i686 GNU/Linux

¿Could anybody help me? Thank you very much anyway for simply being there showing us the truth

Have you tried omitting the line wireless_key "s:" or iwconfig eth0 key off

I tried this
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
#wireless
auto ra0
iface ra0 inet dhcp
name name
wireless_ap XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
wireless_essid p123412341234
#wireless_key off
wireless_mode Managed
wireless_rate auto
wireless_rts auto


And did
sudo ifconfig ra0 down
sudo ifup ra0


Also the same with that key line uncommented for getting key off
Also tried the same with wireless_key open

All gave me the same result: No dhcp offers

Even when I disable key It doesn't take ap MAC automatically but It does when key is active with any value.

Excuse me if I can't explain clearly. Thank you again.

I was wondering why you didn't reply me, beakmyn. But now reading a bit about management traffic tampering I see that It was me who didn't reply you when you asked me about used [ code ] . Please excuse me.

The only thing I can think off is to try:

wireless_key=off
wireless_essid=p123412341234

It should work without =
