Git commit f0c6baccc617ea7fa2b2708da190a3d3035ba8e0 by Lamarque V. Souza. Committed on 09/05/2011 at 01:23. Pushed by lvsouza into branch 'master'. Show correct WEP key type (Passphrase/Hex) when editing/showing the connection secrets. Also set Hex as default key type. Thanks Rajeesh K Nambiar for pointing this problem out. I changed the original review request to save the wep key type, which is the correct thing to do.

This has been a major stumbling block for linux/KDE use for many non-technical users. Changing to default from Passphrase to Hex is great. Could someone clarify whether an attempt automatically determine the correct key type is made? Or whether if a user enters a key it will be attempted first using the default (Hex) method, and if that fails using passphrase? |
