Hämmästyttävää... 64 merkin avain ei kai voi olla muuta kuin 64 merkkiä?

Jaha... selitys taisi löytyä. Minulla ainakin on wlanin oletusarvoisesti ehdottaman esijaettuna avaimena 64 merkin heksa-avain, mutta nokiapa ei tue sitä.

Pitää muuttaa salauksen avaimeksi 8-63 ASCII-merkkinen avain.

Kai tuo manuaalissa lukee, mutta insinöörihän ei papereihin koske :)

It seems that many people have been wondering in this thread that they can't enter longer than 63 characters WPA/WPA2 Pre Shared Key's to the phone's WLAN settings.

Basically there's two different ways how Pre Shared Key is defined. More common method is that PSK is configured to devices (AP and client) as an 8 to 63 characters long ASCII string.

The 8 - 63 ASCII character "password" is mandatory method of inputting PSK's to devices thus all WPA/WPA2-PSK enabled equipment should support it.

However some devices may support additional IEEE 802.11i originated method of defining PSK. In this case Key is defined in hexadecimal format consisting of _exactly_ 64 hexadecimal digits (not more or less than 64).

It should be noted that Nokia phone's do not support this additional 64 hexadecimal character Key input mode. Thus PSK must always be defined as an ASCII string of 8 - 63 characters (to both AP and phone configuration) in order to make WPA/WPA-PSK work.

In case WLAN access point's configuration UI does support 64 hex digit PSK input format then there should also be a way to configure/select an option that allows AP to be configured with a regular 8 - 63 ASCII "password" string for AP to remain WPA/WPA2 compatible.

E71 suomenkielisessä manussa lukee sivulla 139 näin.

"WEP-avainten asetukset
Tilapäisverkossa kaikkien laitteiden on käytettävä
samaa WEP-avainta.
Valitse WLAN-suojausasetukset > WEP-avaimen
aset. ja jokin seuraavista:
• WEP-salaus — Valitse haluamasi WEPsalausavaimen
pituus.
• WEP-avaimen muoto — Valitse, annetaanko WEPavaimen
tiedot ASCII- vai Heksadesimaalimuodossa.
• WEP-avain — Anna WEP-avaimen tiedot."

Asia ainakin esitetään niin että avain voi olla ascii tai heksa.
