Hi,

the same to me. But I am quite confident, that the small WEP works at
all. IMHO it is no difference to use a weak or "strong" key, the whole
protocol is broken, so you aren't safe anymore.

But there might be environments, you need to have a strong key
possibility to participate, so I'd appreciate the development of 128Bit
keys, too, IMHO.
