You can skip wep128 or wep64 or any other wep for that matter, currently a standard notebook with a supported wireless card running linux can passively break through wep64/wep128 encryption within 10-30 minutes, switching to active mode can break through the encryption within 3-5 minutes. Simply put, encryption of the WEP kind is no longer worth the bother.
Just look around on google, he's a quote I found:
Department: Here's a demo of the FBI, using commonly available and openly documented hardware & software to crack WEP 128-bit security in three minutes.

The needed utilites can be freely downloaded of the internet.

CentOS4 standard installation.
I see that KwifiManager doesn't support 128 bit WEP which I need for other machines on the network, which is a bit of a blow - and rather surprising really as security should be quite a consideration on an enterprise level system (NB RH!).
Is there a workaround? An alternative way of configuring my Belkin F5D6020 ver 2 card? eg a cvs download that I can get and copy via a stick? Or how to do it manually? I have tried regressing kdenetwork but that doesn't include kwifimanager at all.
Ideas?
TIA
