128 bit WEP doesn't work /w Airport card

[Greg Hamilton]

I have an older 500 MHz white iBook running YDL3.0.
I configured Airport support manually by adding the following lines to 
/etc/rc.local

/sbin/iwconfig eth1 essid "wireless_network_name" 
wireless_hex_equivalent_password
/sbin/route add default gw 192.168.0.255

Where wireless_network_name and wireless_hex_equivalent_password are 
replaced with values retrieved from the OSX Airport Admin Utility and 
the IP address for the default gateway obviously may be different for 
your network.

I've had no problems with this set-up. I've never tried using the 
Redhat config tools.
