Description
Using FDOM, ASU 2008.8 and ASU 2008.9, it is impossible to join my home and work WEP enabled network using the "Settings" application.
It could have something to do with the fact that when typing the key in using the QWERTY keyboard, it appears that more characters are being echoed than are actually being typed. The first character of each string seems to echo an extra time (once for when it is pressed, then once when it is accepted as it were). So if the key is 1234, I would see *. That is one too many characters. However this could be completely unrelated.
I can connect to the same network when I turn WEP off. But at work, there is no possibility. It'd be nice to be untethered and have fast internet. :)
If you need anything more from me on this, let me know.

Recently we investigated the WiFi? connection issues. During that process I had a deeper look at the network manager (connman) sources which are used by the stettings UI. It turns out that it does not support any encryption method other than WPA-PSK.
We put the network manager on the table again and are looking at other options.
