[lwlan-user] HEX Key, Linksys

[Patrick Berge]

Here is how I got WEP working...  I modified my /etc/pcmcia/wlan-ng.opts 
which are the inputs to the wlanctl-ng if your pcmcia scripts are working.

         dot11PrivacyInvoked=true      # true|false
         dot11WEPDefaultKeyID=X        # 0|1|2|3
         dot11ExcludeUnencrypted=true    # true|false, in AP this means WEP

         dot11WEPDefaultKey0=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
         dot11WEPDefaultKey0=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
         dot11WEPDefaultKey0=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
         dot11WEPDefaultKey0=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx 
         
         AuthType="sharedkey"

Note that all the X's and x's are values you can choose.

And in the router I enabled 64-bit WEP and have the same hex digits and 
default key as the keys in the wlan-ng.opts.
