I've been in touch with the supplier and they say the 26 char WEP code
can not be changed.
Therefore I am presuming I need to get a card that allows 128 bit?
Can you, or anyone else tell me, if I purchase a Lucent Gold card will
this allow me to tap in this WEP key or will Hiroshi's set up still say,
'string too long'?

Many thanks
Andy
