Re: [LUG] Wireless Card Config

[george_sinclair@xxxxxxxxxx]

Thanks Neil - do you (or others) know the exact format for entering WEP keys ? for 
64 bit is it XX:XX:XX:XX:XX ? My windows systems (which work just fine) just use a 
10 decimal value, ( eg 1234567890 ) as written on bottom of wireless router.

thanks
George
