           Summary: Network configuration saves wep passphrase in the
                    wrong place in kwallet
           Product: systemsettings
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: kcm_netpref
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: rsimmons0 at gmail.com


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.5) 
OS:                Linux

When you setup a new wireless connection in System Settings using a wep
password that password is saved in kwallet under Network Management > Maps >
802.11 wireless security > weppassphrase.  It also saved a string of letters
and number in the wepkey1 variable.  It is not clear where this string comes
from but, if you reboot, login, and supply the kwallet password the network
manager looks for the wep password in the wepkey1 variable.  When it tries this
bad password enough times (or there is some timeout) it prompts you for a new
password.  If you click the "show password" box you can see that it is pulling
this password from the garbage that it saved in wepkey1 at the start.  If you
type the password again correctly in this dialog it saves the correct password
to wepkey0.  From here on out it pulls the password from wepkey0 and everything
works fine.

Really, it should always save to wepkey1 at the start and later on.  The dialog
box for making a new wireless connection is different than the one that appears
when a bad password is fed to the router later on, so the code is probably
different for both.  One is saving the password in one location and the other a
different place.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Delete the wireless connection
Add a new one with a wep password.
Look in kwallet at where it is saved.
reboot.
wait for timeout.
type correct password in dialog.
look in kwallet at where the new password is saved.

Actual Results:  
password saved in two places, both wrong.

Expected Results:  
password saved in wepkey1 and read from wepkey1 all subsequent times.

Kubuntu 10.10, KDE 4.5.5
