WEP Encryption
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is the standard 802.11b security protoco8. Data
encryption protects the vulnerable wireless link between clients and access points.
40-bit keys are commonly called 64-bit, and 104-bit keys are commonly called
128-bit because the other 24 bits are automatically assigned. You can use a
passphrase to generate the key. If you have problems, ask your IT administrator for
the hex equivalent and use that instead of the passphrase. If you use an Airport
Base Station, refer to the Airport Admin Utility for the equivalent network
password.
