One is sufficient. I got a little over zealous when entering keys. I simply must have had the format of the hex keys incorrect all this time. I must say, I have been trying to get WEP to work for an embarrisingly long time. WPA-PSK and open networks gave me no trouble though. But I tried for the longest time to get WEP going because thats how I had things setup from 5.x (since WPA was not supported) and I thought it would be easiest to just turn wpa_supplicant on without changing the wLAN. Anyways.... Thank you very much to all. -- Regards, EricReceived on Sat Oct 01 2005 - 12:00:05 UTC
