[arch-general] Can't connect to WEP-protected network

[John Albright]

The channel is 11, and I just realized that I can only specify 1-4 in my
connection settings. So maybe that's the issue. However, I'm just going to
skirt around the issue and change the network to WPA instead. I didn't at
first because it's not my network, but I've been given the go-ahead.
