Summary: "WEP Passphrase" doesn't work correctly - or is
unintuitive to use
Product: knetworkmanager
Version: unspecified
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: wstephenson kde org
ReportedBy: someone berkeley edu
Version: 0.1 (using KDE KDE 3.5.6)
Installed from: Ubuntu Packages
Compiler: gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 20060928 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.1.1-13ubuntu5)
OS: Linux
When connecting to a WEP-encrypted network, there are three options for a password \
type: WEP Passphrase
WEP 40/104-bit hex
WEP 40/104-bit ascii
I cannot make any sense of the default option, "WEP Passphrase". If I try to use my \
5-letter password for my network, it gets converted into some very long key, and \
doesn't work. "WEP Passphrase" seems to accept a password of any length - not just \
5/13 letters for ascii and 10/26 for hex. I've never seen such options in other \
programs - in Windows, in wlassistant, etc. Is it just me, or is something wrong with \
that option?
Also, would it be more intuitive if the other two options were combined? So \
knetworkmananger would choose "ascii" for 5/13 character passwords and "hex" for \
10/26 ones.
