are you talking about the Sourceforge or the Berlios driver? The latter
does, AFAIK, support WEP104. If you have any problems with it, please
provide more info, trying a decent version (>= 0.10):

- syslog of the iwconfig call to set the key after setting module param
debug=0x100007 for at76c503
- output of iwconfig afterwards
