NetworkManager Issues

[Amitabha Roy]

Hmm... I am in the same situation as you. For a wireless network at home,
which is WEP encrypted and not broadcasting the ESSID and I could get
it to work.

First - have you updated to the latest rawhide networkmanager ? 

Second - try first setting key using iwconfig. 

Then run NetworkManager.

One very irritating thing about NetworkManager is that it keeps asking
me for a WEP key about 4-5 times before the applet settles down.
