[MLB-WIRELESS] Minitar WEP Problem - Please Help!

[Matt Boyd]

It's a long shot but its not the way your entering the WEP key is, it? I
had some issues between a linux laptop and a winxp machine a long time
ago where I thought I was putting in the right WEP key but one (forget
which) was taking the key as HEX and the other as ascii and converting
it to hex.
