Bug Description
Version - Ubuntun 9.04
network-
The Network Manager applet's Wireless Network Authentication Required (WEP) Dialog displays a combo box labeled 'Wireless Security'. The default choice displayed is 'WEP 40/128-bit Key'. This is incorrect, it should read:
- '40/104-bit Key'
OR
- '64/128-bit Key'
WEP keys are always entered by a user as 5 bytes (40 bits) or 13 bytes (104 bits), which are then combined with a 24-bit Initialization Vector(IV) to form the actual 64-bit / 128-bit keys.
