So, your associated to an access point called "Wireless". WEP doesn't
seem to be enabled, so you won't need any key (iwlist scan will tell
you the same). The fact that you don't get a DHCP reply (IP adress)
probably means that the network either doesn't have a DHCP server (very
unlikely) or that the network is restricted to particular MAC addresses.
You could try to use a network sniffer (ethereal, tcpdump) and try to
find out MAC and IP addresses, but I don't think you should.
