the same for all, key 2 must be the same for all, and so on).

are
case sensitive. Enter a word or group of printable
characters in the Passphrase box and click the Generate button.
Note
: Not all wireless adapters support passphrase key generation.
• Manual. These values
are not
case sensitive.
64-bit WEP: enter 10 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, a-f, or A-F).
