Bug Description
Binary package hint: linux-image
Dell XPS-M1330 laptop with an Intel 3945abg wireless card
Trying to connect using Network Manager applet to an AdHoc 802.11b network. The scan works and I can see the network, if I choose it from the applet, I'm asked for the wep key but the connection fails and I just keep repeatedly getting asked for the wep key again.
This happened under both Gutsy (with the restricted driver) and Hardy Alpha 6 with the mac80211 driver.

I can confirm this bug. I've been using Gutsy, Hardy Alpha 5,6 and Beta. Same behaviour.
