Desktop that has wireless built into motherboard worked in 11.3 (as best as I can remember, don’t really use it normaly). Trying to connect to my wireless router (only one I have rights to).
Wireless router is WEP with opensystem authentication, works fine for laptop (Windows)
Networkmanager scans and displays local networks
Networkmanager shows:

connection failed

thanks,
With WEP you need to use the complete hexadecimal key, not just a pass phrase.
Is that what you are doing?
YES!!!
should have posted before I spent so much time trying to get it to work on my own
thanks,

It is a configuration problem. Driver rtl8187 works. Check
/var/log/NetworkManager for statements about “secrets”. Deauthentication reason
3 is generally due to the AP rejecting the encryption key.
