        Then you would have to change all other wireless tools (mine,
NetworkManager, KWiFi). By default, those tools will send you a WEP
key without any flag. My assumption is that if a user set a WEP key
explicitely with those tools, you want it to be permanent.
        I think it's easier to fix the only two tools that make use of
dynamic keys.
        Have fun...
