i know i have this problem to (if you are using the program that comes
with gnome). Using KDE's Wlassistant seems to work (which is kde's
wireless connection utility).

my problem is is its not sending the correct range and its also loosing
my WEP (its not even sending it to the router), so i just gave up, and
installed wlassistant and it worked beautifully
