 In today's builds you cannot choose between Hex, Password or Passphrase in
 order to connect to an AP with WEP or WPA.

 This bug is an enhancement to first consider doing all the work behind the
 scene: assume the person provides a password and try to associate and
 authenticate; if that doesn't work assume they provided a hex key, prepend
 '$:' and try associatin and authentication again; if that doesn't work
 then try it as a passphrase; if that doesn't work then return with a
 failed to connect message.

 Depending on how difficult this, plan B would be to add a pull down box to
 dialog to let the user choose the format of the password he is adding: Hex
 64bit, Hex 128bit, passphrase.

 The '$:' string should automatically be pre-pended if the user chooses a
 Hex entry.
