Hello Family, I'm on a wifi network where all the other Unix(like) and Windows laptops seem to be able to pass a "ten" (10) digit number as the "hex" key. In the "ifconfig" manpage for FreeBSD-6.1 it states, under the stanza for "wepkey" that the number must be 5 or 13 chars long. The number that is being used for the 10 digit key is: 1466466946 So, I've tried numerous calc's to see if I can convert this to a HEX, 5 or 13 char output and was wondering if I'm missing something. Of course, when WEP is turned off the wireless nic works find. Orinoco_Gold card. TIA -- Bill Schoolcraft <*> http://wiliweld.com ~ "To live long and well, employ moderation."
