Public bug reported:
This is what I do:
-I make sure that my wireless network isn't saved by nm-applet by right
clicking on nm, and select "Edit Wireless Networks...". If I see my wireless
network here, I delete it.
- Then I left click on nm, and click on my wireless network. It tells me that
my network is encrypted and needs a password. I set the network name to
"MyNetwork", the Wireless Security to "WEP 64/128 bits Hex" and set the key to
"aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa". The connect button appears, I set the
Authentication to "Shared Key" and click on connect. In a few seconds, I am
connected to my wireless network, everything is fine.
Then, I right click on nm, and choose "Edit wireless networks" I select
"MyNetwork" and check the "Show key" check box. It displays the key
which is NOT "aaa...". If I try to reconnect to my network, it fails. If
I reboot my computer, nm cannot connect either. If I delete the key by
going in "Edit wireless connection", nm asks me for my key and it can
then connect.
