And just to add, I followed the recommendation to use knetworkmanager, and indeed that is what is automatically started when logging in, but still have no success. knetworkmanager scans and lists all the wireless networks in the area, including mine, but after entering the WEP hex key and telling it to connect automatically, it does nothing. I can click on the systray icon and see my network set apart on the main menu now, but clicking on it does nothing. I get no response. Killing knetworkmanager and starting nm-applet works just fine though.
