Unfortunately ignorance can result in your doing remarkable things. I have a 2wire 1701HG router. It came with a hex key of 10 digits. By sheer ignorance I managed to change it into a 13 digit ASCII key. Now the mystery is does the AP use a 48 bit key from the hex digits or the 104 bit key from the 13 digit ASCII key? I am not sure how to find out. > ======================================================================= QOTD: "I used to go to UCLA, but then my Dad got a job." ======================================================================= Aaron Konstam telephone: (210) 656-0355 e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
