Bug Description

Hi there, i have a wireless network with a WEP key.

For some reason when entering into network-admin the key is hashed out.

To enter this dialogue you needed to enter your password.

However, ANY user can easily find this WEP key by a simple "nano /etc/network/interfaces"

I think the passwords need encrypting somehow.
