letters from A–F and 0–9. For 64-bit WEP, you need to enter 10 hex
keys. For 128-bit WEP, you need to enter 26 hex keys.

For instance:

AF0F4BC3D4

= 64-bit WEP key

C3030FAF0F4BB2C3D44BC3D4E7

= 128-bit WEP key

The WEP passphrase is NOT the same as a WEP key. Your Adapter
uses this passphrase to generate your WEP keys, but different
hardware manufacturers might have different methods on generating
the keys. If you have multiple vendors’ equipment in your network,
the easiest thing to do is to use the hex WEP key from your wireless
router or access point and enter it manually into the hex WEP key
table in your Adapter’s configuration screen.
