Unable to use wi-fi on Ubuntu Hoary under WEP

[Christoph Georgi]

Well, that might be the problem. Did you add the appropriate entry 
already? If so, does it work?

If not, please check whether your card communicating with the AP by 
checking your AP's logfile. If not, you're likely to still have some 
mismatching in your configs..
