If an index is not given, key 1 is set. A WEP key will be either 5 or 13 characters (40 or 104 bits) depending of the local net- work and the capabilities of the adaptor. It may be specified either as a plain string or as a string of hexadecimal digits proceeded by `0x'. For maximum portability, hex keys are recommended;..." when a 40-bit hex key is proceeded by 0x then a given hex key will be: aaaaaaaaaa0x which is then treated by ifconfig as a 108-bit ascii key and not recognised by the router/wap >How-To-Repeat: outlined above in 'Full Description' >Fix: change the word 'proceeded' to 'preceeded' >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
