You have been subscribed to a public bug: Nowhere in the network-admin tool or the help for it does it give the user various pieces of basic information. Things that should be displayed but aren't:
1. The tool does not work with "shared" encryption. 2. Hexidecimal WEP keys must be entered with hyphens every 4 characters. A little information like this would be easy to stick into the GUI, and would have saved me many hours of searching the interent. ** Affects: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu) Importance: Wishlist Assignee: Ubuntu Desktop Bugs Status: Triaged -- network-admin lacks basic instructions https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/131152 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
