Well... Why use wep? I use MAC address based access... WEP slows down the Newt's connection... more packets plus you dont need to use any additional software on the newt... the basestation has a list of mac addresses that it can lease an IP too.. way easy plus its secure.. dont have to worry about people cracking WEP passwords.. just my $.02

Well I gave it a try. I turned on 128 bit WEP on my router and had problems
getting my PeeCee to connect. After mucking around with the WEP keys (I
initially went for the 4th option as it was easier to type, but backed down
to the first optional key) away it went. I then transferred my card over to
my Newt, turned on WEP, entered the key and it connected first try. Much
better results than the Dell.

So, yes 128 bit WEP does work on an unregistered copy of Hiroshi's drivers.
