Hi,

I have no clue, however, what "Key Input Method: Pass Phrase" is supposed to mean.
... I don't know if it's relevant, but I recently had a wireless router in hands that generates WEP-keys from a passphrase. So instead of typing in hex-numbers for the key, you just type a sentence and hit a button to have 4 WEP-keys generated. As a sidenote, I recently read there are plans for long-range wireless networking (10s of km instead of 10s of yards). Food for security people !
I use ps aux|md5sum to generate my keys.
