Okay, putting 0x in front didn't work. Dropping s: and putting in hex didn't work. Dropping s: and putting in the ASCII string results in an error. Any other ideas? I find it highly ironic that WEP doesn't seem to work well under Linux, the one place one would think it should.
You have to edit the actual config file with a text editor, redhat-config-network will mangle your hex key.
Look in /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ and edit the ifcfg-ethX file that applies.
Then, _don't_ run redhat-config-network again or it will overwrite your hand edited config file with a mangled key (it always adds an s: to the front of hex keys).
