I've installed a DLINK 520 PCI wireless card in the FreeBSD server, and a 
DLINK 650 PCMCIA card in a laptop running Windows ME.

I can get it all up and running in ad-hoc mode with no encryption, and I can 
also get it to work with 128-bit WEP if I specify the keys in hex at both 
ends, but I can't get WEP to work with an ASCII passphrase.

Is the mapping from pass-phrase to hex keys for WEP expected to be 
driver-dependent (hence not expected to work using the same passphrase on MW 
as FreeBSD?)  Or should this be expected to work and hence seems like a bug 
somewhere?
