I think it is 64bit WEP because that is what the router web page tells me has been selected from the various options and that is the setup combination with which the laptop setup would connect successfully.  I could not get the laptop to accept 128 or 256bit keys in ascii or hex.  

The network is as installed.  I've been busily capturing the nuggets in the threads on network manager vs network but have not attempted all the permutations and combinations.
