Question about using wicd and WEP keys (auto hexadecimal convertion)

Hi all, my question is very simple

For example lets say u have the password to conenct to a WEP protected network, lets say the key that was giving to you is: "ude3005_trpt_"

Since is WEP, i have to transalate that prhase to hexadecimal

Then, entering the HEXADECIMAL equivalent to the password u were giving u can connect whitout any problems

Is there a way that WICD detect that the network as WEP protection and that u can enter the "udpe3005_trp_" and that wicd transform that prashe automactly into hexadecimal??

Sorry about my english

cheers

Hi,

I'm one of the developers of wicd.

Try putting quotes around your key, so it looks like

"ude3005_trpt_"

and input that into the WEP key box.  Hopefully we will have a better solution for the next release of wicd
