Every time I try to set the 802.11 WEP preferences. I am confused by the
popup help 
{quote}
First WEP Key (A:B:C:D:E)[40 bit]
{/quote}
I tend to read the help as single hex values seperated by ":" which
would make it 20 bit and not 40 bit? I belive this should read AA:BB:CC:DD:EE ?
for example if my key is the ascii value "00000" should I type
30:30:30:30:30 as the key or
3:0:3:0:3:0:3:0:3:0 as the key.
