Hi,
I got my wifi connection working well on public networks but on private network containing
encryption I was unable to connect.
The key I found on the router definition was "pre-shared Passphrase" 32 bytes
long.
I copied it to the iwconfig but when I looked in iwconfig again it seems only
14 bytes long:
My commands:
# iwconfig eth1 essid Alex mode Manager key \
AE3A-39B6-7BE8-4B24-4B53-3671-9957-7A4D-2A2C-1BE5-578C-8504-8ED9-7AE7-E759-8E87
# iwconfig

When I tried to use the keyphrase:
# iwconfig key s:alexis28
I got an entirely different key.
Any idea?
