and with equipment from certain manufacturers that also support
104/128-bit WEP key encryption. It provides a higher level of security
than the 40/60-bit WEP key (Wi-Fi) option and uses a more complicated
type of encryption. This type of security requires you to set up encryption
using a string or WEP keys as described in "40/64-bit WEP Key" on
page 36.

generates dynamic per-user, per-session WEP keys.
To use dynamic WEP with LEAP-compatible mode, you must have:
A RADIUS server set up on the network
