Description bugreports 2006-05-27 14:33:25 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
this is a regression bug, nm 0.5.x used to work with wep & orinoco, but it does
not work anymore... one can find reports at:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperNetworkManager

and at the nm mailinglist (february/march 2006)

Steps to reproduce:
1. grab a orinoco card and try to join to a wep network
2. see nm fail

you can find logs for nm 0.5.x and 0.6.x at 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperNetworkManager

Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?
100% reproducable

Other information:
I noticed that the essid gets set but the key simply does not. I tried different
versions of wpa supplicant (up to 0.5.2) - same result.
Comment 1 bugreports 2006-06-11 10:19:02 UTC 
it is not a bug in nm but in wpa supplicant. applying wpa_supplicant-wep-key-fix.patch from
http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/devel/wpa_supplicant/

makes it work again.
