[Linux-wlan-ng-devel] Bug#386054: linux-wlan-ng: can not set encryption key using gnome-system-tools

[Tormod Volden]

Package: linux-wlan-ng
Version: 0.2.4+svn20060808-2
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Configuring the wlan0 device in the Networking applet of 
gnome-system-tools sets the IF_WIRELESS_KEY variable. However, 
linux-wlan-ng needs the IF_WLAN_NG_KEY0 variable set.

This little patch takes care of the translation.
