Switching the default security
Authored by: MrHen on May 25, '05 11:03:37PM

My roommate has a third-party wireless access point and my AirPort card can see it just fine, but it wants to default the security to WPA. Unfortunately, the way the access point is set up it doesn't take WPA. It uses WEP.

I'd be okay with this except that the usual pop-up box to change this is grayed out.

I can manually connect to the network using the 'Other...' option and then manually select WEP, but it won't remember it or add the password to my keychain. Every other time I try and connect it will reset everything back to WPA.

Does anyone know of a way to avoid this problem? Thanks!
