I fully agree with this statement.
It is four rows of ten 0 to f  hex digits.
Or four rows of five hex bytes = 40 bits.
For example the last row  is 55ce273b55.
This is the Netgear setup under windoze, and my Belkin pcmcia card sets 
up the  same way ( 4 rows of 10 hex digits )
The wincrap setup works fine (!@#$%) but I very seldom use any of the 
(B)illy (S)teve sludge.

I found this on http://kbserver.netgear.com/kb_web_files/n100684.asp
"All four keys must be specified, because WEP switches between them to 
make your traffic more difficult to break."
So I guess the problem is how to get the four keys into Linux
Thanks,
