Create and edit personal WEP keys
Personal WEP keys can be used only with the infrastructure operating mode. Ad
hoc networks use shared WEP keys only. Make sure that the same personal WEP
key is configured to the WLAN access point; if the access point and PC card are
using incompatible keys, they cannot communicate with each other. Contact your
system administrator for details.

Import and export personal WEP keys
Instead of creating a personal WEP key yourself, you can import from a folder a key
created, for example, by your system administrator. You can export and save
personal keys in folders. The system administrator can import personal WEP keys
from a SIM card and export them to a SIM card.
