From the windows wireless network config page, it seems
like it only supports 64-bit WEP. Is this true ?

The reason it seems to, it that there is no question
asking which to use (64 or 128) and the keys only show 10
characters.

Anyone know if this is true or not ?
TIA
 
The key length determine the encryption strength. MS wanted to
simplify it and "just make it work" in SP1


1 ASCII Character=8 Bits

1 HEX Character=4 Bits


40 or 64 bit ASCII WEP code has 5 characters

40 or 64 bit HEX WEP code has 10 characters


104 or 128 bit ASCII WEP code has 13 characters

104 or 128 bit HEX WEP code has 26 characters
