WEP security with passphrase broken

This is a question that needs support, and not a bug report (invalid).

Please try asking in IRC (#ubuntu at irc.freenode.net), ubuntuforums.org, or askubuntu.com. You can get support with your problem, and potential methods of fixing.

Perhaps my explanation was not clear. The "Passphrase" option for setting
the
wireless key is broken. The hex option still works. This has happened on a
netbook recently upgraded to UBUNTU 12.04 and on another PC upgraded to
kernle 3.2.0-24 in KUBUNTU.
