What kind of key are you choosing in NetworkManager? Hex/ASCII? Or Passphrase? If you're choosing passphrase (which you probably are since NM enforces the limits on Hex & ASCII) then the passphrase you use goes through a semi-standard hashing scheme to determine the actual WEP key that's used: 1) repeat the given key (googooli) over 64 characters 2) MD5 that buffer into a 16-byte hash 3) the first 13 bytes of that 16-bit hash are the actual WEP key Since this method was never actually standardized, iwconfig does not do this for you. Nor does wpa_supplicant actually.
