Comment 4 for bug 453260

I just tried this, the ppa works, insofar as I can enter my password in the key box, and my intel 3945ABG can associate ... but dhcp doesn't work (it does fine on the same network using 8.04 fine for ethernet to the same router using 9.10 kubuntu RC1, and it doesn't seem to work from the command line either).

I guess I need to raise the dhcp issue as another bug ... it seems a never ending series of problems just to get wireless working :-(

However, I agree with Störm that this is a major regression unless it sorted by default, and with an intuitive prompt ... like it or not, these short ascii wep keys are everywhere ....
