[Bug 339313] Re: Kubuntu Jaunty: Cannot Connect To Wireless Network with WEP shared key

[Kangarooo]

UPDATE.
I was able to connect. I did something whats nowhere written to be logical to do.
In one of links from my previos post in google https://www.google.com/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=ubuntu+wep+shared+ascii+13+cant&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
in page https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=444847
theres given page http://www.corecoding.com/utilities/wep2hex.php
to use it for some reason to transcode your ascii (normal word 5 or 13 char long) pass to hex
i tryd and it gives 2 hexes
1.) KEYs for non apple computers/networks:
(104/128bit) hashed key: 

2.) KEYs for apple networks or if the AP is a airport express:
(40/64bit) key:

since im on Ubuntu i tryd 1st pasting in NM Wifi Connection as WEP 40/128-bit key & then WEP 128-bit Passphrase
both didnt work.

I just now wanted to try also 2nd option but that shouldnt work couse
its for apple comps.. BUT it worked as WEP 40/128-bit key

Why?

So maybe this helps making solution?

Problem im having i made Wifi router and Repeater to work. My Repeater works only using none or WEP security. Using Open or Mixed i cant connect from Ubuntu to router. Im now trying on wifi and repeater using wep shared and android works great and btw i fount that using usb and tethering then Ubuntu auto-recognized it as Lan.
But using Shared makes all work better but ubuntu only connects to Wifi but not to repeater now using shared.
Strange things.
