kubuntu - 128bit wep doesn't work

[jledhead]

but 64 bit does.

Can anyone help. I have tried everything I can think of and can't get it to work. I am using a 128 bit hex key and it works in windows. I copy the same key to a text file and save that on a fat drive. I then access the fat drive in kubuntu and copy and paste so I don't type it wrong, and nothing I do will get the 128 bit key working. I dropped it down to 64 bit and didn't change anything else and it worked.

any ideas on what could be the problem or how else to configure it?

TIA

a little info about your configuration:
What distro are you using? **ooppss, you said kubuntu**
What wireless card are you using?
Are you using a specific user installed driver or one provided by your distro?
If it is a specific driver, is is with ndiswrapper?
Has it ever worked (with a different distro or wireless card)?

I am using the ipw2100 (something like that), its a built in Intel Card and Kubuntu found it on install

I have never gotten 128bit wep to work with any other linux distro, (k)ubuntu, debian, fedora 3 and 4, knoppix. 64 bit works all day long. 64bit and 128bit both work in XP without changing anything except the key, so I know the router works, the card works, and they keys all work.

Like I said, just to make sure its not me typing it wrong, I copy the key from my router into a txt file, and save that file on a fat drive, access the drive in kubuntu and copy and paste it into the wireless config and it doesn't work.

I have used the built in manager in kubuntu, wifi-radar, kwifimanager (this one sucks the most), and even changed the configuration manually and can never get 128bit to work. same steps work with 64bit key, and in both cases I don't change anything on the router except 128bit --> 64bit, and they are hex keys.

thanks for the help
