Wireless WEP encryption
I need to figure out how to get WEP encryption running from a Linksys WRT54G wireless router to 2 wireless boxes, one running WinXP home and the other running debain sarge. setting it up on the router and the windows box should be a breeze, but i dont know where to set up the WEP on the linux box, or what file to edit with the encryption key.
any help, docs, and whatever else would be appreciated. thanks |
man iwconfig.
as in, 'iwconfig wlan0 key HEXWEPKEY' |
