This is really an issue with the upstream gnome-tools. network-admin only allows for a a minimalistic set of wireless configuration (wep/not wep and a single key). network-manager, at the very least, shoudl allow for input of the "proper" key for use, but if multiple keys need to be configured (and not just the active/in-use one), then the tools are lacking.
After review of the tools and the bugs upstream, I'm of the opinion that major upstream cahnges need to be made, and not just ubuntu builds. -- Unable to specify which wep key# to store key in https://launchpad.net/bugs/49600 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
