Unable to use wi-fi on Ubuntu Hoary under WEP

[Matthew Franz]

Are you manually configuring WEP using iwtools or using the gnome networking 
inteface configuration

which should put it in /etc/network/interfaces/

iface eth1 inet dhcp
wireless-essid <essid-here>
wireless-key <key here, all uppercase, hex>

No <>'s :)
