----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  eteo      |       Owner:  marcelo  
     Type:  defect    |      Status:  new      
 Priority:  normal    |   Milestone:  Untriaged
Component:  wireless  |    Keywords:           
----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
 Hex digits can be in upper and lowercase. However, if a user enters an
 uppercase WEP key, he/she will not be able to connect to the AP even
 though it is a valid key.

 Steps to reproduce:[[BR]]
 1. Go to mesh view, locate access point[[BR]]
 2. Click access point, enter key in uppercase, in "A wireless encryption
 key is required for..." dialog box.[[BR]]

 {{{
 -bash-3.1# cat /boot/olpc_build

 /usr/share/sugar/shell/hardware/nmclient.py:[[BR]]
 {{{
     522     def get_key_for_network(self, net, async_cb, async_err_cb):
     523         # Throw up a dialog asking for the key here, and set
     524         # the authentication algorithm to the given one, if any
     525         #
     526         # Key needs to be limited to _either_ 10 or 26 digits
 long,
     527         # and contain _only_ _hex_ digits, 0-9 or a-f
