Re: [Wirelessdriver-support] Orinoco Gold + WallStreet PB + 10.2.3 + AirportExtreme = no go?

[Cliff S. <cl...@st...>]

I've run into a problem with linksys and other non-apple product and 
the airport extreem with wep.  If I entered the key as ascii, 
non-airport drivers (and sometimes I saw it with airport drivers) will 
not be able to use wep.

The solution I found was to enter the key in hex on the airportextreme 
base station.  So convert your password to hex and enter it with a "$" 
at the front.

Cheers,
Cliff
