Title:
  WEP key setting doesn't work on IPW2200 without "restricted"

Status in “netcfg” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “netcfg” package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  Setting the WEP-key on both my IPW2200s doesn't work unless I also set the
  security mode to "restricted" manually on vc 2. This also works (but isn't
  necessary) on my other wifi cards (prism54, atmel), so it should be safe to set
  it always.

  It can be done in two ways:

  iwconfig eth0 key restricted your_wep_key_here

  or in 2 steps:
  iwconfig eth0 key your_wep_key_here
  iwconfig eth0 key restricted
