You are of course correct. I am still very low on the learning curve when
it comes to wireless, and at the time I set up my PowerBook I didn't know
exactly what managed and ad-hoc meant. More specifically, I thought that a
KEY setting was required for managed, and everything I tried entering for
the key caused the connection to fail.
When I exclude the KEY field, I can run in managed mode. If the software
basestation provides the "Network Equivalent Password" you refer to on
your site, I am yet to find it.
