Some of the above I recognize as letters (79=y, 78=x, 6D=m, that's all I remember off the top of my head). So they probably aren't using a name or the like. You can set this like: iwconfig eth1 key "791b-e847-0a78-85a6-d5a7-c26d-17" If this is correct, they're using a 104 bit key (a la the Orinoco Silver card -- gold card can go to 128 bit). > Default key = 1 > > I'm not sure where I am going wrong here.
