 > Let me try to summarize the situation with WEP, as I'm reading it from
 the comments in this bug:

 I would propose the following summary:

 1 - It is not the firmware because we can manually associate

 2 - It is not UI because manually writing on
 /home/olpc/.sugar/default/nm/networks.cfg does not work. (this is an old
 trick that worked when the problem was UI. And, btw, #6182 is fixed, so
 nothing points to UI anymore)

 3 - It used to work

 If the 3 above are correct, Libertas driver, wpa_supplicant and
 NetworkManager are the possible candidates. The first suffered the most
 deep changes, so it would be the logical candidate.

 So, maybe if we grab an old kernel with an old driver and test it in a
 recent joyride, this would give as a hint, right?
