This is nonsense.
I have the Intel 2100 working in my notebook with 128 (104) bit
encryption. it works fine.
Please make a "iwconfig" and see if your key is set (you must be root to
see the key). 
Some days ago I had the same problem, but this was an issue of the
iwtools from SuSE 8.2. With this version I was unable to set the key.

I have downloaded wireless-tools version 26, now it works.

Maybe this should be mentioned in the FAQ.
