Did You Know?

64-bit WEP keys are
commonly called 40-bit
keys and 128-bit keys are
commonly called 104-bit
keys because the other
24 bits are automatically
assigned.

Tip

You can use a passphrase
to generate the keys.
If you have problems,
ask your network
administrator for the
hex equivalent, and
use that instead.
