Comment 32 for bug 36651

Hello,

I'm using Hardy and have a WEP connection. Every time I boot up the computer, it asks for the WEP passkey. Sometimes it likes it, sometimes it asks for it again. After a 2-3 tries, it gets the connection and things work for a while, but it's a huge pain to keep entering the WEP key every time I boot up.

I think that the 2-3 tries has to do with how many requests to the router it takes before it gets an IP offer.
I know if I just run sudo dhclient -d inside a terminal, it takes 2 or 3 tries before it grabs an IP.

I will try out the WicD option, but I would REALLY like to see this fixed in networkmanager.
