Re: [Madwifi-users] Has anyone had luck getting WEP functioning on Netgear HA311 with Netgear HE102 AP

[Tom J. <tem...@vd...>]

Excellent Andrew!

I'll try this...and yes, my readout with iwconfig is essentially the 
same as yours, with one exception when I run 40-bit encryption:
Encryption key:****-****-**

Btw, a question - what encryption bit-size are you using?  I tried 40 
and 128, no luck.

And, just to confirm, this would be a 40 bit code on the card right:

0123456789
-or- picked out of the air in hex:
0a1b2c3d4e
This will work for 40-bit right?
