>Description:
      under the 'wepkey' section of the 'ifconfig(8)' man page, it states:

 wepkey key|index:key
             For IEEE 802.11 wireless interfaces, set the selected WEP key.
             If an index is not given, key 1 is set.  A WEP key will be either
             5 or 13 characters (40 or 104 bits) depending of the local net-
             work and the capabilities of the adaptor.  It may be specified either as a plain string or as a string of hexadecimal digits
proceeded by `0x'.  For maximum portability, hex keys are recommended;..."

when a 40-bit hex key is proceeded by 0x then a given hex key will be:

aaaaaaaaaa0x 

which is then treated by ifconfig as a 108-bit ascii key and not recognised by the router/wap
>How-To-Repeat:
      outlined above in 'Full Description'
>Fix:
      change the word 'proceeded' to 'preceeded'

 I don't want to sound too anally-retentive here, but I'm pretty sure it's
 spelt 'preceded'.
