More info,

- After network-manager touched the card I cannot configure it by hand,
it misbehaves, does not change channel automatically, gets
dissasociated,etc. I had to unplug the card and re-plug it to make it
work.

With network-manager, you can see there is no key conigured:

# iwconfig 
lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

wlan0     IEEE 802.11b  ESSID:""  Nickname:"zd1201"
          Mode:Managed  Channel:1  Access Point: 50:67:F0:89:6A:70   
          Bit Rate:11 Mb/s   
          Retry   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:off
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality:0/128  Signal level=25/128  Noise level:0/128
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0


Steps to make it work:

# service network-manager stop
network-manager stop/waiting

(unplug and replug the card)

# iwconfig wlan0 essid Tincho key xxxxxxxxx
# ip l s wlan0 up
# iwconfig 
lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

wlan0     IEEE 802.11b  ESSID:"Tincho"  Nickname:"zd1201"
          Mode:Managed  Channel:11  Access Point: 50:67:F0:89:6A:70   
          Bit Rate:11 Mb/s   
          Retry   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx   Security mode:open
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality:0/128  Signal level=33/128  Noise level:0/128
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

(Now the key is correctly set)
