NetworkManager supports both, 64 and 128 bit WEP keys. If you speak about the netto value of bits used for encryption you end up with 40 (104) bit. The missing 24 bits are being used by an initialization vector which is not under the control of the user. KNetworkManager thus uses 40/104 bit for the user interface. And, of course, it does not only support 40 bit WEP keys.
