Well I somehow assumed you read the networkmanager mailinglist ... which
is how I found this 'bug' but of course this is wpasupplicant so I
screwed up.

Anyway the bug I'd like to report is orinoco does not work w/ wep & nm:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=343112

and when I read
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/networkmanager-list/2006-June/msg00002.html

and went to http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/devel/wpa_supplicant/ 
I found the above mentioned patches applied them to the experimental
version and nm was working (i.e. the wep key got set!). As the wep patch
is a one liner I guess it should be applied, and yes this bug is there
in wpasupplicant version 0.4.8 - to cvs-current + the wep patch will
still apply. I am not sure about the others and I don't know whether
they were necessary.

Thats all I wanted/have to say.
Soeren.
