[Bug 339313] Re: Kubuntu Jaunty: Cannot Connect To Wireless Network with WEP shared key

[SRElysian]

Turns out, here in Karmic I've had the same problem in both the plasmoid
and knetworkmanager. It continually attempts to connect over and over to
no avail. I rather liked the plasmoid, but to fix the problem (as
someone else suggested) I did "sudo apt-get install wicd", then gave it
a reboot.

For those of you unfamilar with wicd, right click on the new icon you
have in the tray and click connect. Find your network on the list and
click the ">" to bring up more options. Click advanced settings and add
type WPA (or whatever enc you are using) key in the box at the bottom.
Click OK then click Connect. You should be good to go.

On a personal note, I am disappointed that I had to resort to this
option, however, I am grateful that I had a (simple) second option.
Having no nifty plasmoid is better than no wifi at all, my wife is
rather tired of seeing my 50ft bright orange cat5 laying about in the
living room. :/
