My next wireless roadblock

For those of you who read my post about my Airport Express dropping out, I think I solved that by switching to Channel 1. Not only was my microwave wreaking havoc, but there are 2 other home wireless networks in range of my house.

Next: Does anyone have experience connecting a Linksys 802.1B adapter to an airport? I am using 40 bit wep on the airport (since the linksys doesn't support 128 bit). Problem for me is that the airport software had me intput a passcode. The Linksys card wants the actual Hex Key. Any idea on how to get that?

Use the 64 bit setting, I think that should work.
