A couple of points: We use 128-bit encryption and all that is required is to enter the complete 26-digit hex value in the single key field in neat. It doesn't look like neat supports multiple keys directly. It seems reasonable that it should, so you might want to file a request for enhancement on Bugzilla. neat is a front end to edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth?. That file in turn feeds the script /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-wireless. *That* script generates commands for /sbin/iwconfig. It *might* (I haven't tried) be possible to include multiple keys in the ifcfg-eth? file by hand-editing. The syntax would be described in the man page for iwconfig. -- Matthew Saltzman Clemson University Math Sciences mjs@clemson.edu http://www.math.clemson.edu/~mjs -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
