Primary concern is the 802.11 subsystem if you use software encryption 
(default with current ipw2200 driver). ieee80211_crypt_wep.c says

struct prism2_wep_data {
        u32 iv;
#define WEP_KEY_LEN 13
        u8 key[WEP_KEY_LEN + 1];
...

so currently no 152 bit key. You can try to increase WEP_KEY_LEN. Be warned, 
it may work, work not or just crash your machine, I haven't tested.
