Entering the "128 bits 26 hex digits" code for my router does not work, I believe I need to enter a "WEP 40/128-bit Key", but when I select this, the "Connect" button is greyed out and I cannot enter the code.

I don't use NetworkManager so forgive me if this is dumb. Is there a
separate text entry box for Passphrase, and if so are you leaving it
blank and entering your Hex Password in an entry text box for 128bit
key?
