arguments are as follows:
• authentication—Configures 802.11 authentication.
• encryption—Sets the static WEP keys and indices.
• open—Configures open system authentication.
• sharedkey—Configures shared key authentication.
• 104, 40—Specifies the WEP key size.
• hex, ascii—Specifies the input format of the key.
• wep-key-index , wep-key-index1-4—Type of password that follows.
A value of 0 indicates that an unencrypted password follows. A
value of 8 indicates that an AES encrypted follows.
