    Hi guys!
    Need some help on this issue.
    As you all know, there are two ways of setting up the WEP security. One is by manually enter the WEP key in hex or ascii while the other one is by specifying a passphrase.
    Does anyone knows how does the WEP key generated from the passphrase?
    I mean what kind of algorithm is used.
    In TR-069 spec, it says 802.11i standard does specifies rules for generation of WEP keys from a passphrase. Somehow, I just couldn't find it.
    Can someone help?
    Thanks a lot.
