Hello Ian,
I don't have the same card/access point as you, but I do use the wi
driver. The control settings I have are:
insert /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i $device -p 1
insert /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i $device -f 9
insert /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i $device -n "john_network"
insert /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i $device -k 0x1111111111 -v 1
insert /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i $device -k 0x2222222222 -v 2
insert /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i $device -k 0x3333333333 -v 3
insert /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i $device -k 0x4444444444 -v 4
insert /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i $device -e 1
Keys changed of course ;-)
wicontrol, when run as root, does display the correct keys for me.
You might want to look at -p and -f.
HTH,
John...
