Re: [Wirelessdriver-devel] Re: [Wirelessdriver-support] WEP Functionality

[Michael E. <mre...@ho...>]

If you pass the keychain a url type thing, then just stuff the keys in like:

http://NetworkName/Key1
http://NetworkName/Key2
http://NetworkName/Key3
http://NetworkName/Key4

Then if you detect a network name, you can query your keychain for that url 
on all four keys to see if anything hits.  Or if you use a static network 
name, well - you get the picture.

This is just an oursiders guess, BTW.  I havn't even looked at coding for 
Carbon/Coca.
