Encryption
Encryption	Set the data encryption level for the wireless node. The data encryption level
	must be the same between all wireless nodes and access points in the same
	network. The possible values for the data encryption level are Disable, 64
	bits and 128 bits. 64-bit data encryption is also called 40-bit data
	encryption by some vendors. For more explanation on data encryption,
	please refer to the wireless network fundamental chapter at the beginning of
	this reference guide.
	Setting the data encryption level to Disable is to not use any encryption; this
	is also called Open System data encryption. Setting the data encryption level
	to 64-bit configures the wireless node to use the 40-bit (also called 64-bit)
	Shared Key data encryption method. 128-bit encryption is another possible
	Shared Key data encryption method.
Key #1	The encryption key used to encrypt/decrypt wireless data. When set to 64-bit
Key #2	(also called 40-bit) data encryption mode, you may specify up to four
Key #3	different keys to encrypt wireless data. However, only one key is allowed in
Key #4	the 128-bit data encryption mode.
Default Key	When the encryption level is set to 64-bit (also called 40-bit by some other
	vendors) or 128-bit, the wireless LAN configuration utility allows you to
	specify up to four different keys to encrypt wireless data. The Default Tx
	field allows you to specify which one of the four keys to activate.
Mode	The Mandatory mode: Not only the WEP of your USB adapter will be used,
	but also any other station needs to use WEP encryption in order to establish
	a communication with your station.
	The Optional mode: Your USB adapter can communicate with every other
	station regardless if they use WEP or not.
Authentication	The Open System mode is for any USB adapter.
Type	The Share Key mode allows the USB adapter to use a shared secret key.
