If I delete the network connection details from /etc/NetworkManager
/system-connections and then recreate the connection it will connect and
work fine. If the connection is lost or I reboot the connection fails
and I have to delete the connection and recreate it again.

Additionally, when the connection fails I am prompted to enter the WEP
key in a dialogue box. If I ignore the dialogue box another will
eventually appear, and another, and...  I gave up at 15 dialogue boxes.

** Package changed: ubuntu => network-manager (Ubuntu)
