Yes, we do have non English list members. We both aren't English AFAIK.
I'm surprised that you don't read Base64 natively, though.

Let's reply in US-ASCII raw 7 bits.
Yes, MD5 is available through various packages, no, it cannot be used
with the wavelan driver, but the wavelan driver handles the WEP
authentication and encryption mechanism provided that your card does
it and you registered the software.
It works here with a Lucent Wavelan Silver. However, I noticed that
sometimes the default worksite gets undefined and I cannot connect
until I reselect home as the default worksite.

Actually, I think that eCartis doesn't decode Base64 data and sends
it as it to the list.
