Yes. But it es very, very important here, to initialize the wireless
connection in EXACTLY the right order.

ip link set eth1 up
iwconfig eth1 enc WEP-KEY
iwconfig eth1 essid SOMEID
iwconfig eth1 mode auto
dhclient eth1

Sadly, it is impossible to use wpasupplicant or NetworkManager. If I use
iwconfig to look at the interface-configuration while they try to
establish a connection, I see it configured properly, but DHCP fails.

That's exactly the problem I get myself, when changing the order of
initialization.
