I saw the following posted on ecomstation.support.networking today from
"P.R. Nienhuis" regarding using the old Cisco340 driver (from hobbes) to
set a WEP40 key, then using the new Cisco340/350 driver and the WEP will
still work.  I don't use encryption so I haven't tried it but I thought
I'd pass it on in case someone was interested.
