Hi everyone,

I'm a complete newbie and I've been trying to get my wireless network up and
running on FC3 (after I gave up on FC4 I had to downgrade).

I reached the point where I could connect to my AP when encryption is
disabled. When enabling encryption, the only way I can connect is when I use
a 64 bit key (WEP 64) (I have to mention here that I'm surprised there's no
way from the GUI to specify the encryption mode).

Now my problem is, Windows only allows, AFAIK, another encryption mode which
uses ASCII keys and does not have the 64 bit key scheme as an option.

So, currently, whenever I switch from Windows to Linux, I have to connect
through a network cable to my AP to re-configure encryption. Is there a way
around this problem?

Every help is appreciated.

P.S. How can I search the archives of this list?
