NB: With WEP enabled I had to set the Authentication Method to "Open or Shared Key" rather than just "shared key". Shared Key simply didn't work. "Open or shared key" With 64bit WEP worked fine.

Completely Open with NO WEP Key also worked fine.

Device: WORKING!
Brandname: SiteCom
Brandtype: PCI Card 100G+ (WL-121V2)
Driver Version: 2.1.22.2 (14-5-2004)
Card Type: PCI
WLAN Connectivity inside: 54 Mbps very good reception.
Tested Encryptions: WEP128, WPA-TKIP, AES
Computer OS: Microsoft Windows XP Pro US SP2

Note:
Compared to the Linksys WMP54G (V2!) its connection is a bit more ~ (waving) than the flatline rock stable Linksys. Sometimes the connection drops a line on the wavebar and than comes back to full range. Never lost connection though and if I tease the card by disabling/enabling or renewing it a few times it always come back properly.
The drivers gave a nice simple install and the Sitecom client manager ROCKS!!! It supports every encryption possible even AES!!!! :D
I would say this is a very good bargain... since its cheaper than the Linksys and shows some nice extra features :)
