WepKeyType

Description:

[ CCode ( cprefix = "NM_WEP_KEY_TYPE_" , type_id = "nm_wep_key_type_get_type ()" ) ]
public enum WepKeyType

The WepKeyType values specify how any WEP keys present in the setting are interpreted.

There are no standards governing how to hash the various WEP key/passphrase formats into the actual WEP key. Unfortunately some WEP keys can be interpreted in multiple ways, requiring the setting to specify how to interpret the any WEP keys. For example, the key "732f2d712e4a394a375d366931" is both a valid Hexadecimal WEP key and a WEP passphrase. Further, many ASCII keys are also valid WEP passphrases, but since passphrases and ASCII keys are hashed differently to determine the actual WEP key the type must be specified.
