Comment(by tomeu):

 Dan explains the work needed for implementing the dropdown:

 {{{
 Work involved with this is basically keeping all the backend code, but
 removing the prefix stuff that I asked you to do (sorry!).  Add a
 GtkComboBox to the dialog that contains the following options:

 WEP 128-bit Passphrase
 WEP 40/128-bit Hex Key
 WEP 40/128-bit ASCII Key

 The option selected in the combo would affect validation of input as
 follows:

 WEP 128-bit Passphrase: entry must have between 1 and 64 characters
 (inclusive)
 WEP 40/128-bit Hex Key: entry must have either 10 or 26 hexadecimal
 characters
 WEP 40/128-bit ASCII Key: entry must have either 5 or 13 ASCII
 characters

 The input, as always, would be hashed into the hex key that gets stored
 in the saved network config.  Sugar should not be saving the key type
 anywhere, but should hash the input on the fly and always pass NM the
 hex wep key.
