wep & give up ubuntu

[Camuzat Sebastien]

Hi Philip,
the unencrypted wireless connexion works perfectly.

Ive tried :
- to modify etc/network/interfaces manually or
graphically (network-admin)
- to input my 10 digits key dashed every 4 digits
- to input s:<key> with my 10 digits (64 bits) wep key
- to input the key as is
- to connect with gtkwifi, kwifimanager...
- to run knoppix 3.8.1
- to encrypt with 128bits hex 

all that, unsuccessfully !
:-(
But on the other hand, win$ saddly supports my WEP
encryption.

snif snif. i dont wanna lose my ubuntu...
