No such problem here. But then again, I have /always/ configured WEP 
with the hex key. I've never even found a way to use the passphrase.

I have only needed to access that hex key once per installation on any 
computer. I think the extra time taken to copy the hex key from another 
screen is a small price to pay for the added security.
