Re: [arch-general] Proposed netcfg expansion

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. // jeff
