Is there any incompatibility in the WEP key?
I enter a WEP key on the AP, and enter the same WEP key on my client in
Windows it works. If I enter the same WEP key in RH Linux 8.0 it will not
work.?

Any idea why?

I use Orinoco Gold and Lucent AP-500
It is working for me, but I am using the Orinoco Silver (40-bit key) and a Linksys access point. This is format I used to enter my key:

FFFF-FFFF-FF [4]

Notice I am using key 4. There have been multiple posts by people who are using 128-bit keys, but I have never tried using anything but the standard 40-bit keys. AFAIK, anything above 40-bit with 802.11b is proprietary, but you may still get it to work. I believe the 802.11a and 802.11g standard both support higher levels of encryption.

Best Regards,
Keith
