I found everything exactly as on my own setup. It accepts my WPA key then
requests a WEP key.
Just a note on this, both myself and one other fellow, on the Apsire
one, which is what I believe Anne is using, found that for some reason,
the LiveCD wouldn't connect properly (with NM or without) to a WPA2
network. An install and quick update fixed the issue--also, this was at
least a month ago, so if there's a newer kernel in the current live CD,
the results might be different.
Yes, this may be a kernel issue, because wireless worked when I installed out
of the box, but the cabled connection didn't. It may be that I have to go
back to the original kernel and manage without cabled altogether for the
present. That could be one solution. I will alter the number of kernels kept
(I can't remember, off-hand where that is, but I'm sure I'll find it).
Is there any way to make an older kernel the default boot?

In the very early 2.6.27 kernels, the ath5k was giving some people
(though not me) problems.
Ubuntu still has it blacklisted by default, I believe. (Judging from
Aspire One forums.)
