in nm-applet enter doesn't connect in some security modes

[Piers Titus van der Torren]

When connecting to a network the enter key doesn't activate the connect button. This occurs when the wireless security mode is LEAP, WEP 64/128-bit Hex or WEP 64/128-bit ASCII.
It works as expected on the other modes, WPA-Personal and WEP 128-bit Passphrase, pressing enter after entering the key connects.

Using 8.04 beta, network-manager-gnome version 0.6.6-0ubuntu1

these kind of issues are usually driver related. Please test whether this is still an issue for you in jaunty (try live-cd) and if thats the case reopen and reassign this bug to 'linux' package with details about chipset and complete /var/log/syslog taken after reproducing. THanks.

In my report "Bug 311448" I mention the following:

Ubuntu 8.04 provides in wireless connection settings the following choices for WEP key:
WEP 128 bit passphrase
WEP 64/128 bit Hex
WEP 64/128 bit ASCII
However, Ubuntu 8.10 doesn't have ASCII choice, just Hex and Passphrase. I don't know the difference between passphrase and ASCII and I am not very interested in it. When I shifted from 8.04 to 8.10 I had real headache to connect to the wireless access point. Finally I used 8.04 to find the appropriate hexadecimal value for the known ASCII key and than I connected in 8.10 using this hexadecimal value. That's not very straightforward solution. :)"

Than Chris Crisafulli marked it as the duplicate as the current bug.
