Comment(by carrano):

 I also confirmed that joyride 1477 won't connect to a WEP AP via UI.

 But in terms of manual connection via iwconfig, I am afraid that this will
 depend on the AP, as it generally does when it comes to WEP.

 As an example, you still can connect manually to a Buffalo AirStation with
 WEP enabled:

 {{{
  iwconfig eth0 mode managed
  iwconfig eth0 essid <myessid> key s:<mypassphrase>
  dhclient eth0
 }}}
 Note that I did _not_ kill NetworkManager.

 But the same procedure will _not_ work for an Apple Express
