I don't know exactly how the ubuntu network config tool works, but you
can always try to edit /etc/networking/interfaces manually:

#auto eth1
allow-hotplug eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp
    hostname kissair
    wireless_mode managed
    wireless_essid EssID
    wireless_key 1234567890ABCDEF1234567890

if you control the wireless access point, you might want to disable WEP
for a few minutes. whether or not that works is valuable debugging info.
