How to specify the key number

["Steve Lee" <steve fullmeasure co uk>]

Is it possible to specify the key number when specifying the key in nm-applet?

Since upgrading to Ubuntu Hardy I have to swap my
/etc/network/interfaces file for home use and roaming. It seems that
this version restrict the GUI if interfaces contains an entry for the
wifi port (I won't say how long I took to find that was my problem).

My home access point is configures to use key 2 so my interfaces file
looks like this

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp
wireless-essid XYZ
wireless-defaultkey 2
wireless-key2 1234567890
wireless-keymode restricted

I can't find anyway to specify key 2 is being used through the UI of
nm-app or nm-edit or even manual setup and ifup fails at the dhclient
step.

Someone pointed out that WEP is cracked so I should change to WPA. So
does WPA support multiple keys as well? If not then this is less of a
requirement, though is functionality that is missing from the GUI.

Thanks
