Installed Ubuntu 13.04 and when attempting to connecting to a home wifi network, the connect button is only click-able with passwords of 5 or 13 characters.



Is there a fix?

Looks like you are using WEP encryption.




  • For a 40 bit WEP network the password is 5-characters.

  • For a 128 bit WEP network the password is 13-characters.



Change your encryption to WPA. WPA uses either a passphrase (a shared secret) that is comprised of 8 to 63 characters or a fixed-length of 64 HEX characters.



Oh ... if your network card and/or router does not support WPA (doubt it though since it became available in 2003) you need to buy new hardware.



Regarding the side of the network card. Click the connection icon at the panel, edit connections, choose the wireless and Edit...

Regarding the router you are on your own ;)
