Re: Loggin into a WEP enable home network

[Robert L Cochran <cochranb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you are using a wireless card (I think WEP keys only apply to 
wireless devics, right?), and you are using Fedora Core 2, you can also 
click Applications --> System Tools --> Network, enter the root 
password, and then highlight the active device.

Click Edit.

Click the "Wireless Settings" tab.

You can enter the WEP key in the box provided for that. Then save it and 
re-activate the wireless device.
