Problem with "index wep key", help !

Hi all

Recently known this distro and i liked. Its simpleness and sthetics.

The problem that's happens to me it's that i can't connect to Internet from SliTaz. I begin to configure the wireless issue on the "tazpanel", i put the ESSID, the type of encriptation (WEP) and WIFI KEY, so the software recognize perfectly those values. BUT there's a little great detail, my WIFI KEY has an "index key" value different to [1], is [4].

Then i write (at edit file option) the "index key" value on WIFI_IWCONFIG_ARGS ... key [4], i click on "configure" then on "stop" and "start" buttons. Wifi adapter  scans like it usually does recognizes my AP but it don't let me connect. I see the output of iwconfig shows the WIFI KEY that i put but without "index key".

I made the configuration manually by terminal "iwconfig wlan0 essid key xxxxxx [4]", then i check output's configuartion with command "iwconfig" and appears all in order , my WIFI KEY with "index key" at the end how i made. So i'm connected but but after approximately one minute its gone the connexion. I think it could be a conflict with the settings "tazpanel" i dont know.

I wonder , there will be some proper way to set the "key index" in "WIFI_IWCONFIG_ARGS"?, perhaps the wireless settings of the "tazpanel" was not created thinking about that detail.

Ain't have more ideas.

I hope someone can help me. Greetings!
