Description Jesse Keating 2007-09-22 13:21:11 UTC 
When I try to connect to a 40bit WEP point (10 char passphrase) if I don't have
a keyring yet I'm prompted to supply a passphrase for a new keyring.  If I opt
out (deny) I get brought back to the access point passphrase box, so I'm forced
to use a keyring (another bug that I'll be filing).

However if I create a keyring, I get prompted almost immediately for the keyring
passphrase again, and then NM goes into a loop of trying to configure the device:

One last s/13/10/ found.  Should work for 40-bit WEP now in svn r2868 and later.
