64 or 128 bits WEP
For 64bit WEP - you would enter in a '10' digit hex number on the
router - as well for eg - in keys-ath0:
KEY=0000000000
For 128bit - I think its 26 digits. For eg:
KEY=ABCDABCDABCDABCDABCDABCDAB
If you are using a 'string' - instead of 'hex' - you would have (for
either 64bit or 128bit)
KEY=s:foobar
