Current Network Key
Allows you to select which of the four 64-bit or 128-bit keys to use
to encrypt your data when you are using encryption that requires
the manual entry of an encryption key. Only one WEP key is in use
at a time. You must manually change keys. They do not change
automatically.
Notes:
64-bit and 40-bit encryption are two different names for the
same encryption
128-bit and 104-bit encryption are two different names for the
same encryption
PassPhrase
Automatically generates WEP encryption keys required to
communicate with the network.
Although not required for WEP operation, use of a PassPhrase can
simplify the configuration and setup of each of your client wireless
adapters.
Using a PassPhrase eliminates the need to manual enter lengthy
encryption keys and reduces the chance of error associated with
entering entry of large numbers.
