Comment 7 for bug 339313

I experienced the same problem. I have an access point with an ascii wep key. I was able to make it run by entering the key in hexadecimal rather than in ascii. Can you try to do so and see if it fixes the problem?

If you need help converting your key to hex, here is a small Python trick I used:

- From the command line, start Python:
python

- Enter your key:
key="YourAsciiKey"

- Enter this:
"".join(["%02x" % ord(x) for x in key])

The hex key should be displayed.
