Where are you editing the key? gui or file? Upon multiple reboots, does the first char get truncated multiple times? ie. if you reboot twice does both of the first chars go away? Additionally, the upstream devs are inquiring about your WEP key. Is it all 0-9 digits? Hi :) Suspending and resuming has the same effect as a restart too, and once it has truncated the preceding 0 it does not truncate any more digits. I am using a 10 digit hex passkey (where I am only using 0-9 digits however). All of this happens through the gui. I can add that not even a reboot/suspend is necessary. If I add the 0 to my wep key, connect and re-enter the settings menu the 0 has already been removed. :S (In reply to comment #3) > Hi :) > > Suspending and resuming has the same effect as a restart too, and once it has > truncated the preceding 0 it does not truncate any more digits.

If you want a quickfix (and have access) - you can change the passphrase to have a letter in it. Otherwise, there will be a new alpha/beta tomorrow that has the fix too. Awesome :) I shall wait patiently :P "tomorrow" was a relative term =P alpha3 was released within the past hour, gentoo has it now. reopen if needed. |
