Dear All,
I have this same problem on my ubuntu as in my Centos linux.
when i use NetworkManager to connect to my NetGear Access Point with WEP security, the passphrase seems that do not make the correct KEY, so i had to check in the NetGear and enter it manually in EX mode, using iwconfig on CentOS and the networking utility in ubuntu.
Ok, after this introduction this is my question. Do you know any WEP Key generator starting from a passphrase? for linux? i have found a lot for windows and on-line wich work really good, http://www.powerdog.com/wepkey.cgi this one generates exactly the same as my NetGear AP. but offcourse if I can't connect to the network I can't use an online tool :(
any ideas? thanks Guillermo.
Wep is unsecure. do you have a way to move to WPA? http://blogs.msdn.com/alexholy/archive/2006/08/07/690912.aspx

I have read that my Aironet 802.11b Cisco card did not support WPA, so i am tied to WEP until I can buy a new card for my laptop :(.
anyway i normally use my laptop only at airports and Hotels, and there the admin guys just let me know the passphrase and not the key itself, so i need a way to "translate" those passphrase to EX keys.
