I'm trying to configure WEP on my WiFi setup consisting of a Microsoft MN-500 wireless router and Microsoft MN-520 (Prism) NIC in a Debian laptop. So far, everything is working per design (although I can't figure out how to read signal strength, background noise level, etc.) with the exception of WEP. This is sort of a new area for me. The router will allow me to enter a hex string up to 26 characters long, which seems to be about 6 characters too few to add up to 128 bits. Still, assuming that's correct and I should press the "I believe button", what is the syntax for setting that key in /etc/network/interfaces? Believe me, I'd *love* to RTFM if only I could find one. -- Kirk Strauser
