    No matter what I set the WEP key to, I can't get it to use the non-default key in the router. Normal argument to iwconfig is:
       iwconfig eth1 key [2]2702F22BBDE3E27D5CCBF46FEE

    But setting wlassistant's WEP Key to "[2]2702F22BBDE3E27D5CCBF46FEE" must cause an error somewhere because iwconfig shows neither the key nor the key index changing.

      Sorry that should have been:
      [2]<space>key
      .. but the problem still exists

      I see from running from a console that it sends:
        /sbin/iwconfig eth1 mode managed channel 6 key open [2] 2702F22BBDE3E27D5CCBF46FEE

      which the man-page for iwconfig seems to suggest should work (their example: iwconfig eth0 key restricted [3] 0123456789) so this appears to not be a wlassistant bug after all.

      Cheers!

        well, it actually IS a wlassistant problem and the way it's passing arguments to iwconfig. Will fix in the next release. Thanks for bringing it up!
