[PLUG] wifi WEP security problems

Hmm... That's kinda odd because I use it with WEP all the time.  For
instance, see the configuration examples in: 
  http://hostap.epitest.fi/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/hostap/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf?rev=HEAD

One excerpt:
-----8<--------
# Shared WEP key connection (no WPA, no IEEE 802.1X)
network={
	ssid="static-wep-test"
	key_mgmt=NONE
	wep_key0="abcde"
	wep_key1=0102030405
	wep_key2="1234567890123"
	wep_tx_keyidx=0
	priority=5
}
----->8--------

> You just configure it manually for WEP, with NetworkMangler (TM) or using
> iwconfig in a terminal.
> See man iwconfig for reference.
> 
> iwconfig wlan0 essid [SSID_NAME] key [WEP_KEY]


This is certainly an option as well.  Probably a good way to take one
moving part out of the picture.
