[Voyage-linux] 64 bit wep

[Edwin Whitelaw]

You should be able to test this quickly without changing your interfaces 
file by issuing

iwconfig <interface> enc s:xxxxx

and seeing if the client associates correctly.

You can revert to the 128bit key with

iwconfig <interface> enc s:xxxxxxxxxxxxx

(or reboot and let your existing config set up everything)
