Comment 7 for bug 33714

The problem with rtl8180 and ndiswrapper using wep is in /etc/network/interfaces. If you use the windows driver you need to set your key before the essid, and you need to specify what kinda authentication you have
In my interfaces file I need to set
wireless open key *******
wireless essid ******
Instead of
wireles essid ******
wireless key *****
