Wireless internet connection fails, WEP code not recognised

[Marion]

Ubuntu 9.04. I have installed this on the laptop and the first time I set up the internet wireless connection with the WEP key everything was fine. I switched the lap top off. The next time I turned it on, the internet connection had been severed and every time I put in the WEP key it tries to reconnect and then asks again for the key. I have tried using the alternate driver and the result is exactly the same whether I use it or not. I have a second laptop with the same version of ubuntu on it and this problem does not happen on that one.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Judging from your description, I am going to assign this bug to the network-manager package in hopes that it will have a faster response. If you believe that I have chosen the wrong package, please change your bug to the correct one. Good luck on getting it fixed!

Dear Adil,
The next time I turned the laptop on it connected to the internet
without any help from me! So really the problem is solved, but I have no
idea why.
