NM doesn't really ask for the type of key when you get to connecting to the previously-created network. It's however possible to create the connection, and then edit it from the connection editor to set "WEP passphrase" and enter in the passphrase, which will allow the connection to work.
Not sure we'll be able to land a fix for this just now, given how late in the cycle it is. I can however start figuring out how to add the feature properly and submit it for review from the upstream developers. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1032433 Title: Using WEP 128-bit Passphrase, Ad-hoc connection cannot be established To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/oem-priority/+bug/1032433/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
