It seems to be a bug in wpasupplicant because calling wpa_supplicant manually shows the same behavior: With the orinoco_pci driver, wpasupplicant doesn't set the WEP key. Fedora ships with a patch that fixed the problem for me: http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/devel/wpa_supplicant /wpa_supplicant-wep-key-fix.patch?rev=1.1&view=log
However, I couldn't get networkmanager running with the hostap_pci driver: - hostap creates 2 interfaces: eth0 and wifi0 - wpasupplicant works if it is called with "-i wifi0" but not with "-i eth0" - networkmanager tries to call wpasupplicant for the interface eth0 and not wifi0 Michael -- orinoco/prism54 cannot connect to WEP networks https://launchpad.net/bugs/37396 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
