I've generated a 128bit key via the browser, but I don't know how to configure my system to do so. I'm aware that there are both 64 and 128 bit encryption available, but i don't know which is more compatible with my system. Currently, I'm running the latest (updated) 4.6 version of Freebsd. So if any of you have had any experience with setting up your wi0 with WEP, please give me some pointers on how to do so Thankyou in advance To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
