Iface wlan0 Inet DHCP # or static, understand

Wireless-Essid TP-Link

Wireless-Key S: ABC # Set the password here if you have a password.

For WEP-Key type, In hex format, the key is represented by a hexadecimal number, while in plain text (ASCII) mode, the key is represented by ASCII characters, s: prefix is required for use.

For WEP systems, Open Systems accept plaintext data frames, while restricted (restricted) systems discard plaintext data frames.

Note: Some translate restricted into "shared"

For example, you can use the following command to configure an open WEP access point in hexadecimal format:

Iwconfig eth1 Essid comcat_team open 23f2a

Use plain text and restricted WEP access points:

Iwconfig eth1 Essid comcat_team restricted S: rayslx
