Re: [MLUG] Airport Problems-Mac OS X

[Jason McIntosh <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Um, I haven't seen a 64bit WEP key.  I've seen 40bit and 128bit, but 
not 64.  I do know OS X supports both 40bit, 128bit, as well as LEAP 
protocols.  And it supports them in ASCII or HEX.  Use the menubar 
airport icon, click "Other" and select the appropriate type.
Cheers!
Jason
