Comment 11 for bug 288963

I am experiencing this same issue in 8.10 release (Ibex). Was there a resolution or workaround for this?

The WEP key is shown when I open the connection up in nm-applet, but somehow it is not passed when nm tries to actually make the connection (though it knows security is required).

Syslog has this:
