The wep_key0 is the clear text passphrase, correct? Not > one of the encrypted keys? right? The entry in the example file shows both hex and ascii keys.

Have you been able to connect by hand (not using wpa_supplicant)? If not, do that first. -- Brooks --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
