Here's what I have. Works great for me.


 /usr/sbin/iwconfig eth0 essid "myap"
 /usr/sbin/iwconfig eth0 key "ABCABCABCA"
 /usr/sbin/iwconfig eth0 key [2] "1231231231"
 /usr/sbin/iwconfig eth0 key [3] "1A2A3ACACA"
 /usr/sbin/iwconfig eth0 key [4] "3213213213"

However, it did seem to work with only the first key. I'm not really sure h=
ow WEP works, maybe it keeps switching between the keys and I just happened=
 to get lucky with the one that was active on my AP at the time. Anyway, th=
at should work. Somebody please tell me if I'm forgetting anything.
