You guess it, I do not populate my secret key.
Anyway, I am still using WEP, as my AP is too old, to support WPA. This is no
problem for me, as in case of the defective HF-PA it is only sending with
10mW, which is enough for sending within my living rooms, but too low to send
into the far(!) world.
Regards
Hans
