@markinct:  Now that you mention it, I have seen the Homeportal unit
resetting.  Red light blinks, etc.  Updating description soon.

** Description changed:

  I'm using a Toshiba laptop with an internal wireless card, dual-booting
  Ubuntu 8.18 (Hardy, with latest updates) and Windoaze, and I'm trying to
  connect to my parent's home wireless network.  They have a 2wire
  HomePortal 1000SW with a 10-digit hex WEP key.  Windows connects to the
  network with no problems.
  
  When I try to connect from Hardy, NetworkManager prompts me to enter the
  key.  I select the Hex option, enter the key and press connect.
  NetworkManager then hangs for about 15 minutes while saying "Waiting for
  network key for HomeNet..." before giving up and telling me I can't
  connect.  This was also an issue in Gutsy.
  
  I'm pretty sure this is a NetworkManager bug, although it didn't work
  with wicd, either.
+ 
+ After further inspection, we've noticed that the HomePortal unit resets
+ whenever a connection is attempted.
