[SOLVED] nm-applet crashes when a key is pressed in the WEP password

I try to connect with nm-applet to a wifi network with WEP encryption, then nm-applet asks for a password. I select the password input-box and when I press any key it crashes. This is the output:

error in libgcrypt, file visibility.c, line 821, function gcry_md_hash_buffer: called in non-operational state
DBG: md_enable: algorithm 1 not available
Ohhhh jeeee: gcry_md_open failed for algo 1: Invalid digest algorithmfatal error in libgcrypt, file misc.c, line 137, function _gcry_logv: internal error (fatal or bug)

- I have installed: libgcrypt, wireless-tools, wpa_supplicant.
- I can connect with iwconfig.
- Same crash running as root (su/sudo).

A package missing? Some configuration? Thank you in advance.

I have exactly the same problem here. I do not have this problem with WPA encrypted networks, though.

EDIT: I do not have this problem when I select WEP 64/128 Hex instead of Passphrase.

I had the same problem.
It works again, if you take the libgcrypt package from testing.

Wow, I was looking for references to this problem and it seemed that nobody had it. Now I see that I'm not the only one.

I will try with the testing libgcrypt package. Thank for your tip kxb!

It's fixed in the new version of libgcrypt in repos.

Solved.
