Try using open mode instead of restricted.  I know I have to use open
for my card to work:
# iwconfig wlan0 key XXXXXXXXXX open

As far as I know, you should not have the 0x in front.  What happens
when you just run "iwconfig" after trying to set the key?  Can you see
the key set properly?  Has it associated with your AP (do you see the
ESSID set)?
