[Launchpad Bug Tracker <285981@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I have among others the following kernel available on my system:
OLD - 2.6.24-19-386 
NEW - 2.6.24-21-386
The OLD one allows me to connect to Wireless LAN which are protected with 128-bit WEP by means of the Intel 2200BG wireless card. On the contrary the NEW one doesn't allow me to connect to WEP protected Wireless LAN.
In particular, if I try to execute the command:
iwconfig eth0 essid Kismet key s:aabbccddeeff123
I get the following message:
Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :
     SET failed on device eth0 ; Operation not supported.
Then by looking at the dmesg output I found the following log entry:
[ 1647.745604 ] eth0: could not initialize WEP: load module ieee80211_crypt_wep

If you need more information please let me know.

** Affects: linux (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Low
         Status: Incomplete

Unable to connect to WLAN protected with WEP by using the intel 2200bg
