Re: airport and encryption

Base Station Firmware Version: V3.84 
Wireless Channel: 11
Wireless Security:  40 bit WEP
Public (WAN) IP Adress: 10.1.12.69





Airport Card:  I just updated it with Apple's Software Update utility
today.





# iwconfig

eth1      IEEE 802.11-DS  ESSID:"wnet"  Nickname:"HERMES I"
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.462GHz  Access Point:

this key looks too long to be 40bit wep.


          Power Management:off

i use wireless_key

i think the problem may be getting the key from the mac config utitily

but by the look of things the wireless key about is too long
