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

[aLVaRiTo!P]

I have had the same problem.
I am with Kubuntu 9.10 64 bits, and couldn't access wifi network "protected" with WEP with an ASCII passfrase. 
I tried what Aurélien Gâteau proposed, to translate the ascii password to hexadecimal code, and it worked ok.
What he proposed to translate it:
--------------
If you need help converting your key to hex, here is a small Python trick I used:

- From the command line, start Python:
python

- Enter your key:
key="YourAsciiKey"

- Enter this:
"".join(["%02x" % ord(x) for x in key])

The hex key should be displayed.

Salut!!
