I was asking about it earlier here and everyone told me that it is actually worse to use "authmode shared" (the WEP-keys seem to be easier to crack). You can read about WEP authentication here: http://www.cypherpunks.ca/bh2001/mgp00018.html I have looked in the sources in CURRENT and the authentication protocol is not implemented. Someone told me about a patch which makes it available, but I lost interest after reading the link above. Martin
