Version: 0.7 svn 864988 (Ubuntu package) (using KDE 4.2.2) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages While WEP usage is deprecated, I still encounter many places with WEP encryption only. Mostly I cannot connect to these networks, as I can only enter the WEP hex key or the WEP passphrase. All network I know only provide the WEP ASCII key (5/13 chars), which I cannot enter into the widget. Thus I cannot connect to these networks. The Gnome network manager applet provides the ASCII key option. Even under Windows XP it is the default way of entering the network key (In fact, WEP passphrase is not even supported in Windows XP)
Sorry, wrong version number. The right one is 0.0+svn930811 (Ubuntu package)
The option is there in SVN, closing this bug.
