Comment 39 for bug 384920

Indeed, WEP utterly sucks, but sadly is the only type of wireless security supported by many ISP-provided WiFi routers (at least down here in Mexico is pretty much the defacto standard, and 64-bit keys to top it all). Pretty much since NM was made standard in Fedora, and even before that (FC6 era, I believe) when you had to separately install it and enable it as a service, only a couple releases actually required that you used the 0x prefix for entering HEX keys. At any rate, I'll do a series of tests to change the key from WEP to WPA2 in my router (which is one of the few that actually does support that security scheme) and see what happens. Will report back any success or failure later today.
