Hello,

I can connect to wireless which are
(i) protected with WPA2,
(ii) unprotected.

But so far, using Hardy, I simply cannot connect to a WEP protected network.

Are you sure you're choosing the correct passphrase type?

WEP 128-bit Passphrase
WEP 64/128-bit Hex
WEP 64/128-bit ASCII

I had problems connecting to my WEP network until I realised I was not
paying attention and had left it on the default "WEP 128-bit
Passphrase". NM would look like it was going to connect but then would
fail. WPA worked fine. Finally I saw the "WEP 64/128-bit Hex" option
and once I started using that everything was fine.

Just a thought.
