What difference does it make whether you use key 1, instead of one of the other three? WEP is still just as vulnerable to cracking no matter which you use. Cycling through keys in a random order might actually be useful, but as far as I know no one has implemented this.
And it's pretty Standard Operating Practice that if something asks for a WEP key without specifying a key index, that it should be the key in index 1. Most people don't even realize that there are multiple key indexes in WEP, because it's pretty stupid and there's no reason to not just use the first one.
Also, no surprize in the fact that the dialog asking for the WEP key is asking for the "passphrase". I have seen several pieces of recent software that do this. I think you are a classic case of knowing enough to get in trouble, but not enough to get back out.
