OK, so I got it figured.

10.04, on an eeePC 701SD will NOT authenticate to a 40bitWEP network with shared 
key authentication!

I tried 3 networks to which I had administrator access and on none of them would 
it authenticate. Every other combination available works.

Given that WEP 40 shared is almost as insecure as no encryption, it's probably 
not a big problem. However, it did work in 9.04 and now it doesn't, so there has 
been some sort of regression.

Is it worth filing a bug?
