Default WEP Key to Use
Select the key to be used as the default key. Data transmissions are
always encrypted using the default key. The other keys can only be used
to decrypt received data.
Deny unencrypted data:
Check this field when the WEP is enabled to deny unencrypted data. This
feature enables the adapter to drop all unencrypted packets received.

must use the same authentication option as the Access Point in order to
establish active link. 'Open' allows the radio station to connect an access
point with open authentication process. 'Shared key' allows only stations

key(s).
