Hi all,

I just noticed one more puzzling detail. As I said, the WLAN does not
use any encryption, and hence my entries in YaST/"Cisco 340 Series
Wireless LAN Adapter"/"Wireless Network Card Configuration" are:

Network Name (ESSID): <empty>
Authentication Mode: Open
Key Input Type: Passphrase [defaults to this since...]
Encryption Key: <empty>

Yet, in KWiFiManager/Scan for Networks I see
Network Name: <local_wlan_id>
Mode: Managed
WEP: on <-- ???

And when I click on this entry and click "Switch to Network", I get a
window saying "Aborting network switching due to invalid WEP key
specification".

What's going on here?
