WEP Keys in Mac OS X?

antmo asks: "Mac OS X doesn't allow you to specify which WEP key index (1-4) one wishes to use, via the Network preferences. This causes me much pain, since my employer's wireless network uses a key index other than 1. I know the AirPort card allows for this, as I am able to set all four keys in Open BSD and Debian Linux. I don't know whether this is a limitation of Mac OS X's AirPort driver or simply the preferences. I've looked all over the net, posted to many discussion forums (since March of this year), done quite a bit of tinkering with the config files and still don't have a clue how to, if possible, set which key index to send. I have not heard a thing from Apple about this, which leads me to believe they're not going to add this ability. Does anyone know whether a fix from Apple is forthcoming? Anyone know a hack to get this working?"

Wonder if it is time to mod this whole story down as -1 uninformative. If your environment won't support the tools that you need, it is time to change to an environment that will...

I don't even bother with WEP, WAY too easy to hack, that is why there are VPN applications that run on top of it...

Oh well, anyone that wants to rely on bad/wierdly configured security should expect trouble... Guess it is time to be modded down myself to -1 Troll...
