Hello Family,
I'm on a wifi network where all the other Unix(like) and Windows
laptops seem to be able to pass a "ten" (10) digit number as the
"hex" key.
In the "ifconfig" manpage for FreeBSD-6.1 it states, under the
stanza for "wepkey" that the number must be 5 or 13 chars long.
The number that is being used for the 10 digit key is:
1466466946
So, I've tried numerous calc's to see if I can convert this to a
HEX, 5 or 13 char output and was wondering if I'm missing something.
Of course, when WEP is turned off the wireless nic works find.
Orinoco_Gold card.
TIA
