Sort of same here. Fresh install of kubuntu 9.04 with a belkin usb wifi dongle based on rtl8187.
Using wep with an ascii key System picked it up ok, could see wifi networks ok. But when configuring the only wep password options where hex and passphrase, no option for ascii. Neither hex or passphrase worked. To cut a long story short I had to sudo /etc/network/interfaces and config in there. -- Kubuntu Jaunty: Cannot Connect To Wireless Network with WEP shared key https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/339313 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
