Thanks. I changed to Wep 128 and put in a HEX key (26 character preceded
by "0x". Xlan said "wep-128 -1 searching." Then I got a trap 0008.
Normally I use WPA (TKIP, PSK) with a pass phrase. That works under
Windows, but Xlan gives the same "searching" message (so far no trap 8).
I may not be setting something up correctly. Let me know if you have any
other suggestions.
