I'm also having this problem.  When knetworkmanager first tries to connect to 
my wireless network, it asks me for the WEP password for my network.  After I 
enter it, it just sits there with the gear spinning (apparently at 0%).  When I 
check the wallet, there is no entry for knetworkmanager, so it did not 
successfully create the keystore.  If I run knetworkmanager --nofork, I get 
this on the console:


** (process:20494): CRITICAL **: nmu_security_serialize_wep_with_cipher: 
assertion `(key_format == IW_AUTH_KEYFORMAT_HEX) || (key_format == 
IW_AUTH_KEYFORMAT_ASC || key_format == IW_AUTH_KEYFORMAT_PASS)' failed

** (process:20494): CRITICAL **: nmu_security_serialize_wep_with_cipher: 
assertion `(key_format == IW_AUTH_KEYFORMAT_HEX) || (key_format == 
IW_AUTH_KEYFORMAT_ASC || key_format == IW_AUTH_KEYFORMAT_PASS)' failed
Serialization of encryption payload failed (key reply).


I haven't started digging into the source to figure out why this would be, but 
all of this suggests to me that knetworkmanager is probably failing to connect 
to the wallet.  It is not, however, giving me any direct indication that this 
is what happened, much less how to fix it.  I can use iwconfig to set the essid 
and key manually, then run dhclient ath0, and a connectivity is restored.  
However, since knetworkmanager still thinks the connection is down, KDE apps 
like Konqueror and Kopete misbehave.

Please feel free to contact me if you need additional information.
