Re: NM repeatedly asking for WEP key

[Bluesky_greenleaf <trojanwei gmail com>]

Is it mean if we have set one SSID in thethe wpa_supplicant.conf under /etc, then NM will automatically call this SSID when NM starts to run? 

What is the relationship with the plugin files under the /etc/NetworkManager/system-settings, Thanks

Will

So you don't actually need wep_key1 here at all, because you're only
using wep_key0.  So what you've got here is a WEP 40-bit ASCII
passphrase, since your wep_key0 is 5 characters, and you've quoted it.

So the supplicant will be using wep_key0 to connect to the AP, and not
wep_key1 since you set wep_tx_keyidx to 0.

Do you know what "WEP Authentication" setting your AP has?  Is it set to
only use Shared Key auth?

But in the end, yeah, the driver is simply not cooperating with
wpa_supplicant here.  And that's a driver bug.
