There is no loss in functionality in the IEEE802.11 preference page.  The SSID
needs to be a part of the string, just like it was in v1.6.  While the "key
type" is specified in the drop-down box, it still may need to be prefixed in
the key box (for non-WEP).  I'll admit that part's a little kludgy.

To add more keys, just click the "New" button.  This new format allows you to
have (effectively) infinite keys, where as v1.6 limited you to 16.
