Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nm-applet
When, in the network manager, you select a network and input the WEP key
and select "Shared Key" instead of "Open System", Ubuntu halts. I have
an rt61 wireless card, and although using a shared key isn't required, I
tried it once and Ubuntu just froze. I didn't have time to press Ctrl-
Alt-F1 to see the log. To reproduce this problem, just connect to a
wireless network by using the nm-applet at the top in Feisty, and select
"Shared Key". Note that roaming mode has to be enabled for it to work.
Also, this might be another bug, but when roaming mode is enabled, and I
try to connect to my network, by entering the correct WEP key and try to
connect, the Internet doesn't work. You have to go into manual
configuration and enter the same information there. My guess is that it
doesn't assign a DHCP IP address, but instead tries to use a static one.
Thanks in advance for any help.
