So what happens when you scan for a wireless connection, then save what you
find, and then look it up in the connectivity menu to see whether WEP is
listed as yes or no, and if it's no, you hit backspace with C (on a BT
keyboard) to change it? Are you then able to type y to turn on WEP, and
then get the prompt to type in a WEP key?
