sorry if that was not clear.

in current NM when the dialog come up the 'Wireless security' menu (which has a drop down menu of 'WEP 40/128-bit key', 'WEP 128-bit passphrase', 'LEAP', 'Dynamic WEP') is focused.

for people who need to select an option other than 'WEP 40/128-bit key', and who want to use the keyboard, this is a good way to start. for people who will activate the drop down with the mouse, the initial focus does not matter. users who want to use a 'WEP 40/128-bit key', will have to tab down to the key input before they can type.

i suggest that that the initial focus be moved to the key entry. because i think using a key is more common that a passphrase (just based on my experience). also i think the drop down menu is most likely to be activated with the mouse.

people who navigate menus and everything by keyboard, and use something other 'WEP 40/128-bit key', will be slowed down a bit because the initial focus would not be optimal.
