WEP/WPA keys

how can i put the passkey in as normal text? is there a converter that i can use as when i got my airport card and set this up i had to stick it in as hex which too a while as i couldnt do it anyother way

Take a look at http://www.tonymarston.net/php-mysql/converter.php

If your wep key is too long then replace the initial character with a dollar sign which seemed to do something before i got stuck with settings

cheers for that, just seams a little daft that you have to put the hex version of it in
