I am trying to connect my MacBook to a network that uses 64 bit hex encryption. Maybe I am just an idiot but it looks like my only options are for 128bit encryption, is there a way around this?
Got a tip for us?

This is WEP, yes? And you're using Leopard, right?
Have you tried the "WEP Password" option and just used the Hex key?
(as of now) I don't know if that will work or not.
EDIT: Ah, now I know... Choose the "WEP Password" and put a dollar sign ($) before the hexadecimal password.
FYI, 40 bit = 64 bit. It's an industry nomenclature thing.
