It's available in the connection editor's security page for that wifi
connection.

It's not available in the applet's popup "give me all your passwords"
dialog, because it's simply so rarely used, and confuses so many people.
Users that require more advanced network config (like WEP key indexes
other than 0) now get to set the WEP key index from the connection
editor instead.  After doing so, the connection should work just fine.
It's just a bit of additional setup for users of networks that are quite
rare and configured more obscurely.

BTW, Mac OS X doesn't even have UI for WEP key indexes, so that's a +1
for us in any case :)
