If ASCII, another possibility is that SMC, like Linksys, is munging the ASCII WEP password in some strange way. With Linksys hardware, you've got to use hex keys to make things interoperate (as well as apply Linux/FreeBSD patches to talk to a Linksys access point). Hmm. If you're really desperate, this *might* be worth investigating: http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=164039+167666+/usr/local/www/db/text/2001/freebsd-mobile/20010520.freebsd-mobile -- Darryl Okahata darrylo@soco.agilent.com DISCLAIMER: this message is the author's personal opinion and does not constitute the support, opinion, or policy of Agilent Technologies, or of the little green men that have been following him all day.
