Title:
  can't connect to a wep 128-bit passphrase router using moblin remix
  9.10

Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: network-manager-gnome

  I just bought a Inspiron mini laptop from Dell.  It comes with ubuntu
  moblin remix 9.10 preinstalled.

  From ubuntu 9.10, I can connect to my router using network-manager-
  gnome.  I choose the option "WEP 128-bit passphrase" and it lets me
  type in my passphrase.   From the network manager in moblin remix
  9.10, there no WEP 128-bit passphrase option, just a WEP/WPA dropdown
  box.  I tried WEP and entered the passphrase.  It didn't work.  I
  tried converting the passphrase into hex.  That didn't work.  I tried
  s:passphrase to see if maybe it would work.  It didn't.

  I tried sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome and it installed.
  I then tried to open the gnome network manager.   It gave some error
  messages:

  $nm-applet
  libnotify-Message: GetServerInformation call failed: Too few arguments in reply
  libnotify-Message: Error getting spec version

  ** (nm-applet:2626): WARNING **: get_all_cb: couldn't retrieve system
