I'm unable to connect wireless networks with 64bit wep (8 letter ASCII) using
OpenSuSE 11 with GNOME and the wlan-card is Intel PRO/Wireless 4965 a/g/n.
Trying to connect with GNOME NetworkManager and iwconfig with no success.

Is it possible to configure NetworkManager to use 64b WEP encyption?
Why would you want to use 64 (actually 40 bit) WEP? It's so insecure as to be almost useless. Is there any reason why you can't use WPA?


This is when using public wireless network (I am using wpa at home of course)
