We are going to change the "40 bit" label since it's caused plenty of
confusion. What you call a 64 bit key is a 40 bit key with 24 bits of
padding, likewise the 104 bit key is aka 128 bit encryption, and when we
wrote knetworkmanager we just took the IEEE802.11 internal names for the
encryption types.
Anyway, I'm happy to have kept you on KDE :).
