How to configure ASCII WEP key from wifi wizard

#1 Post by Rayn16120 »

Hi :D !
I'm a french user of Puppy Linux, Toutou Linux exactly (French version of Puppy :P ).
Please excuse me for my bad English and if the post exists (but I don't find it). So I don't want to make a complete tutorial of setting up a wireless connection, because I think there is enough on internet, but I want to give a tip for the users of ASCII WEP keys. So configure your connection with the wizard, and when it's time to set up your ASCII WEP key (in the profile selection/creation), just put "s:" before the key, and then save and use the new profile, and use DHCP or IP as your preference. Now your internet connection is set and works :roll: !
Excuse me again for English and if the post exists :oops: .
Example : Key = s:abcdefghijklm

Oh thankyou...I was getting nowhere this morning...I use wpa2 but the client used wep and I could not work out why I could not get connected and had to backup to flash sticks which took forever :lol:

I guess this is probably dealt with in new releases.

Ohh, i've been having problems with this.

Perhaps this will solve all of them.

Thanks!
