I pointed network manager at the AP, it asked for the WEP pass-phrase,which I gave, no "connection". The network monitor icons seemed to showsignal being exchanged, and showed signal strength, but the no actualcommunication was going on. Am I missing something? Do I have toconfigure WPA-Supplicant for each WEP I want to access too?

Hi - there's three ways of entering a WEP key for NM to use -pass-phrase, ASCII, or HEX. It's possible that the AP was expectingACSII rather than pass-phrase?
