Sorry it took so long to reply. First, your Belkin card is not compatible with the Wallstreet running OS 9.2.2. You could use some commercial drivers from Macsense or IOXperts, but they are not free. They have a 10 to 30 minute free trial you can try. You could get a card that will work with the Airport drivers in OS 9.2.2, however, you will probably have better luck with the Orinoco drivers when trying to talk to the Lucent Base Station. An Airport compatible card can use either the Airport or Orinoco drivers. Because you have a Lucent base station, what you need is one of the Orinoco/Lucent third party (or original Lucent /Orinoco) cards with the Orinoco v7.2 drivers. Having a matched wireless card and base station, will make setting up WEP easier. Links for all your software, compatable cards, as well as links for help in setting up the wireless network can be found on my FAQ page.
