Ah, I see. Well, in that case, guess there isn't really anything to be done, aside from perhaps updating a netcfg example to include this. This is why I like to ask first :) -AT On Mon, Apr 20, 2009 at 4:35 PM, Jeff Mickey <jeff@archlinux.org> wrote:
The problem is slightly larger than iwconfig support or lack thereof. WEP passphrases are merely keys to hash into the hex encryption code. iwconfig _will_ allow you to use an ascii representation of the hex:
iwconfig wlan0 key s:somepasswd
But there is no guarantee that your router is merely using the ascii as the hex, it could also be hashing on the MS Windows algorithm.
Try putting "s:blahblah" in the KEY part for netcfg, and see if it works for you.
