Can anyone else confirm this specific issue is fixed for them with
Intrepid's final release?  Thanks.

Bug description:
I'm using a Toshiba laptop with an internal wireless card, dual-booting Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy, with latest updates) and Windoaze, and I'm trying to connect to my parent's home wireless network.  They have a 2wire HomePortal 1000SW with a 10-digit hex WEP key.  Windows connects to the network with no problems.

When I try to connect from Hardy, NetworkManager prompts me to enter the
key.  I select the Hex option, enter the key and press connect. 
NetworkManager then hangs for about 15 minutes while saying "Waiting for
network key for HomeNet..." before giving up and telling me I can't
connect.  This was also an issue in Gutsy.

We've now confirmed that a similar problem occurs with Network Manager,
wicd and wlassistant.

After further inspection, we've noticed that the HomePortal unit resets
whenever a connection is attempted.
