An example of a Wi-Fi Protected Access label found on a consumer device. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and Wi-Fi Protected Access II (WPA2) are two security protocols and security certification programs developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance to secure wireless computer networks. The Alliance defined these in response to serious weaknesses researchers had found in the previous system, Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP).
Unless you are referring to the drivers, but it's doubtful that would require a key. So most likely the key you are referring to is the one used in the router and the one that's needed for the client to connect. In any case, you shouldn't use WEP or WPA. Instead, if possible use WPA2-PSK [AES]. WEP is hackable and WPA isn't as strong as WPA2. The Key or Passphrase should be a randomly generated 'password' that allows wireless clients, like your Desktop that you want to connect wirelessly, access to the router.
