It would be great it it was possible to enter the 64/128-bit WEP codes needed for the wireless network as a ascii passphrase. Today I need to convert the ascii passphrase I've entered into the router to the hex code version before I can enter it in the SqueezeBox.

I suspect most users use a ascii passphrase for thier WEP code since it's easier to remember than a long hex code.

unfortunately, there are multiple ascii encodings for wep keys.
