Hi Rick
This makes some sense, but here's some discrepency here. Based on what
you say I'd expect the AP to specify 64-bit/128 bit or 40-bit/104-bit.
However, to confuse things, it specifies eiher 40-bit or 128-bit
I've tried choosing 40-bit and setting a 40-bit key (as hex and as
ASCII) but it still doesn't work.
