[Prism54-users] WEP support

[Aurelien]

Hi,
I think you should tell the card to use encryption.
It is done automaticaly if you do
iwconfig eth0 key somethingggg
But if you do
iwconfig eth1 key 0=20
you just tel the card to use the key 0. You don't ask it to use  encryption=
. For this you must do=20
iwconfig eth0 key restricted
or
iwconfig eth0 key open

I'm not sure if it is the classical behavior for iwconfig. But that's how w=
e made it :-)

...And justice for all
