Fedora 18, lose wireless WEP connection, cannot enter passphrase when prompted.

[Victor B. Gonzalez]

Hello,

I have this issue where I set up a wireless (system) connection using WEP. The 
wireless works when it works but at some point, I get a prompt to re-enter the 
passphrase *but* no matter what I do, I can't enter anything.

This request from secrets locks me out completely and is annoying because the 
only way I know how to solve it, is to reboot. Fedora is completely up to date 
using KDE 4.8.4. I'm not sure what to do *but* I am convinced the problem is 
in the network manager.

Thank you for your time.
