The documentation talks about entering the WEP key in in
string form or hex. What is the correct syntax?. My
802.11 is using 128 bit key and I have the hex values.

I have tried many different formats, it appears that 128bit
does not work.

Thanks,
John

A 128-bit key has 104 bits that are user-specifiable. You can enter
them as 26 hex digits (0-9, A-F) or 13 ASCII characters.
