I think he can just input the correct key on that dialog and click OK. If WEP
allows empty key? If not, I have the following solution.

I think we can show "*********" regardless of if the selected favor wlan has a
stored key. When the key entry get the focus, then we empty the entry. When it
loses the focus, if it's still empty, we show that asterisks.
