Public bug reported:
I have reported this problem in
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=623478 , yet nobody seemed to
care about this. So here it is...
This affects Gutsy, as far as I know. I have not tested earlier or later
versions. And specifically it affects "network-admin" program, which
allows user to specify network parameters via its GUI.
In brief, the default "wireless security mode" that is written to
/etc/network/interfaces is "restricted". In my case, this is the reason
why my laptop could not connect to my wireless station unless I disabled
the WEP! After I discovered this problem, I inserted the following text
manually in /etc/network/interfaces :
wireless-keymode open
and, after `sudo ifup eth1', the wireless connection worked fine. But I
wonder if this option can be set up in GNOME's network-admin applet. I
am afraid it can't. So this is the bug.
