How to enter a WEP key with a non-Apple access point
Authored by: ctbeers on Feb 25, '04 11:40:24AM

A little trick I learned a while back about this. Although you cannot copy and paste the key if you open it in Textedit, select it, and then drag it to the WEP key field in the menu-bar drag down menu it will insert it there.

How to enter a WEP key with a non-Apple access point

One thing that may not be evident is that you have to click on or tab to the Password box to "activate" it. Once you see a blinking cursor, you can drag the password string from TextEdit.

How to enter a WEP key with a non-Apple access point

my only issue with this WEP setup....the Hex key will be list in the keychain every now and again.
I ran into issues with this about a year ago.
Unless with 10.3 this has been fixed.
But I do not believe so.
So users are then forced to enter the WEP code almost everytime to get on the wireless.
