** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: knetworkmanager
  
  On Kubuntu 6.10 with Buffalo WLI-CB-G54A card using Ndiswrapper.
  
  Kubuntu comes up (with a long delay where I suspect it is attempting to
  connect to the wireless network) and the wireless card's lights are lit
  but there is no network connection.
  
  I tried this with a test wireless network with no encryption and I
  connect fine first time - so something to do with WEP.
  
  1)  With bare bones /etc/network/interfaces file, I attempt to connect
  to my wireless n/w using KNetworkManager with the correct WEP key
  specified.  It fails to connect and reprompts for my WEP key ...
  
  2) If, whilst it is doing this I enter "sudo iwlist wlan0 enc" to check
  my WEP key, I see a strange key of  A7D5-CFE7-B0B7-EB11-E518-17FE-B4
  
  3) SO, while KNetworkManager was trying to connect I entered "sudo
  iwconfig wlan0 key s:<my wep key>" and I connected fine.  This works
  repeatable for me.
  
  Please let me know what extra info I can supply ... I'd like to be able
  to connect to the network without having to do the above every time.
+ 
+ Update 4th April: 
+ -  strange key is not always the same - today it was 
6A80-91FF-2462-08C2-2639-7459-52
+ -  having entered the correct key through "sudo iwconfig ..." and 
successfully connected, "sudo iwlist wlan0 enc" shows my correct WEP key
