Re: wep 256 bits encryption

I noticed talk of 256bit WEP keys on this mailing list.

I have been using a 256 WEP key for a while now, nd using kwirelessmanager
to manage the connection.

For some strange reason kwifimanager no longer lists wireless networks. The
bug has been recorded before.

So now I need to enter my key by some other means.

Other GUIs don't seem to work (kwifimanager, wireless assistant).
So I try iwconfig to do it by hand.

Unfortunately iwconfig truncates my key to 32 characters.

The same is true of /etc/network/interfaces && /etc/init.d/networking
restart

Also entering a WPA key in /etc/network/interfaces doesn't work (was getting
desperate by that point).

- Yet I know it is possible because when kwirelessmanager works it is fine.

How would you guys enter a 256bit key?
If it's relevant I use a 2200bg (my USB wifi adapter freezes everything when
inserted...)
