Netapplet

[Bikehead]

I think I have a similar problem with NetworkManager.  I have a wireless 
network with no broadcast and WEP.  No problem I think, I'll add it 
using the 'wireless network' selection.  It prompts me for an essid, 
which I enter, and then a key, which I enter as a raw hex string.  Now 
most of the time applet will keep prompting me for the key even though I 
know its correct.
