Description Pedro Villavicencio 2007-08-09 00:10:07 UTC 
This bug has been filled here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-system-tools/+bug/131152

"Nowhere in the network-admin tool or the help for it does it give the user various pieces of basic information. Things that should be displayed but aren't:

1. The tool does not work with "shared" encryption.
2. Hexidecimal WEP keys must be entered with hyphens every 4 characters.

A little information like this would be easy to stick into the GUI, and would have saved me many hours of searching the internet."

http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-system-tools/tree/doc/network/C/network-admin.xml however gnome-system-tools is very dead nowadays.
Comment 2 André Klapper 2012-11-24 20:28:08 UTC 
According to its developer(s), gnome-system-tools is not under active development anymore. Functionality has been mostly integrated into GNOME Control Center / "[System] Settings".

It is unlikely that there will be any further active development.

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping - Please feel
free to reopen this bug report in the future if anyone takes the responsibility
for active development again.
