Comment 14 for bug 67152

Trying the 8.04 live CD, it is still the case that the network does not work after
configuring the WEP key using network-admin, even though many details of
the user interface and program behavior have changed since I originally
reported this as bug 67152. I am still using the same hardware.

These are the steps I followed to reproduce the problem:

Boot the 8.04 live CD
Click on the network icon in the top menu bar
Select "Manual configuration"
Select "Wireless connection"
Click "Properties"
Disable roaming mode
Network name: gson (my network ESSID)
Password type: WEP key (hexadecimal)
Network password: (my WEP key)
Configuration: Automatic configuration (DHCP)
Click OK

After these steps, /etc/network/interfaces does contain the
correct ESSID and WEP key for ath0, but according to
"ifconfig ath0" and "iwconfig ath0", the ath0 interface
has not been configured with that ESSID and key.

If I then manually run "/etc/init.d/networking restart", the
interface gets configured correctly and starts working.

Also, if after clicking on the networking icon I don't
select "Manual configuration" but instead simply select
my network from the list of detected networks and follow
the dialogs from there, I end up with a working configuration
without having to manually run "/etc/init.d/networking restart".
