    6.2.1 Wi-Fi with WEP 128 Hex key with numbers and letters

    My WI-FI network is recognized but my WEP 128 bit Hex key combination of numbers and letters is
    apparently not recognized. Asks me for key twice then disconnects?

    I have a similar problem, when i create a protected wireless connection with knoppix, then the key isn't accepted on the windows 7 machine with which i try to connect.

    I have encountered this before too. But if I remember correctly, after I make the setting, then I logout and logout from Xwindow again, it then works. That's one of the quirks of network manager. Not sure if that will work for you or not.

    I had a similar problem in Debian with WEP and wicd. network-manager may differ. The work around I made was to enter the HEX key and the essid with iwconfig.

    As root,
    Code:
    iwconfig eth0 key restricted <26_digit_HEX_Key>
    
    iwconfig eth0 essid <connection_ID>
    Then I successfully prompt wicd to connect or it would before I could.

    I made an alias that would run as root:
    Code:
    alias <a_connection_name>='sudo -u root iwconfig eth0 key restricted <26_digit_HEX_Key> && iwconfig eth0 essid <connection_ID>'
    Can't test this with network-manager since I am not having the problem.
