Hi George - there's a utility called KisMAC which is designed to try
and work out the password access for protected base stations. I've
not been able to get it to work - although I haven't tried very hard
yet.
Oh - but it is a Mac-specific tool. Sorry. Never mind, I'm a bit
sceptical about it anyway! <g> I think you'd be best off using the
AirPort utility to check and then reapply the settings in the normal
manner.
