I just installed Beta 2 on my laptop. When it booted into Windows, it detected my wireless network and asked me for the key. I accidentally typed the key in wrong, so it obviously cannot connect. How do I change the WEP key it has associated with this network? I cannot find anywhere to change the key it has stored.

How do I change my WEP key?
Disconnect from the network in Network Center, delete the wireless network from your most used list, then reconnect again.

I have the exact same problem. Your solution sounds like a good idea, however in my case I'm unable to delete the network connection.
In Network Center, I select the "Network List" link and get a list over the connections on my computer. However, if I right click on the connection I want to delete and selectes "Delete", I get a confirmation message and then nothing else happends. The connections is not beeing removed from the list.
I may also note that it seems like the whole wireless connection stuff is quite a bit "fuzzy". The the available networks seems to come and go, retrying a number of times may make more or less networks available. And why is it not possible to modify for exmple the web-key of an existing connection?

I go to the network center, selects the "Network List" link, right clicks on the connection to try to delete it it, get the confirmation message, and then nothing happens...
Any ideas?
