Hello Ian, I don't have the same card/access point as you, but I do use the wi driver. The control settings I have are: insert /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i $device -p 1 insert /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i $device -f 9 insert /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i $device -n "john_network" insert /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i $device -k 0x1111111111 -v 1 insert /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i $device -k 0x2222222222 -v 2 insert /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i $device -k 0x3333333333 -v 3 insert /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i $device -k 0x4444444444 -v 4 insert /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i $device -e 1 Keys changed of course ;-) wicontrol, when run as root, does display the correct keys for me. You might want to look at -p and -f. HTH, John...
