[Solved][Wifi]WEP encryption problem / Wicd-bzr 1.7.2.4

1. I use WEP encryption. In this bzr-wicd version (1.7.2.4) in WEP (HEX [0-9/A-F]) I have TWO input password fields. Not ONE as it was in previous wicd wersions.
These TWO are: KEY and KEY INDEX. I tried to put my password in these input filelds in every possible combination - failed, output bad password. I tried other WEP enc options as well (even if previous succesful option was WEP (HEX [0-9/A-F])) i tried WEP (PASSPHRASE) and WEP (SHARED/RESTRICTED) - failed as bad.

I'm sentenced to:

iwconfig [interface] essid "XXXXXXXXXX" key ?????????? rate 48M

sleep few seconds and

dhcpcd [interface]

above reach to success

Should add that i need force Bitrate value connection rate48. My wicd-bzr have combobox "Wireless bitrate" but the only possible option is "auto".

My iwlist scan:

<<Simply, just put 0 (or 1) as key index, and your password in "key".>>
