There is a way:

1. Open Network Connections Properties Wireless Networks

2. Select the desired SSID Properties Association

3. Uncheck 'The key is provided for me automatically' check box

4. Increment the desired key index!

Thats it.

WEP is unsafe. You REALLY should be using WPA2 or at least WPA. what
router and what wireless card do you have?
