network manager keeps asking WEP key
Hi. I got my mini 9 with preinstalled ubuntu 8.04.1 by Dell. My wifi system was working without too much trouble until this afternoon. I was away for a couple of hours, and then I found the connection was dropped. So, I tried to reconnect it, but then I never could.
It asked me to enter WEP key, and I typed the correct key. But after a minute or so, it asked again, in fact, forever, without connecting to the internet. I can see the list of possible wireless networks around here by clicking the left button, but I cannot connect to the net.
After reading some postings, I tried disable System->Hardware Drivers->wl and reboot it;
then I enabled the driver again, but the problem still persists.
The only thing I change this afternoon after I came back to the machine was to change the root password. But I don't think that has anything to do with the wifi, right?
Thanks for your help!
