Package: linux-wlan-ng
Version: 0.2.5-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
The linux-wlan-ng package (and the prism2 kernel modules) is very
picky about how you enter the WEP key. It is of course documented
somewhere that the format should be xx:xx:xx:xx:xx, but this is not
obvious when using the Gnome Networking user interface.
For other types of wireless cards, the wireless-tools library does a
reformatting of the entered key in order to be more robust about how the
user enters the key. linux-wlan-ng can easily do something similar to
be as user friendly.
The attached patch removes any delimiters that the users have entered
and formats the key in pair of hex digits. The conversion supports any
key length and is free of bashisms.
