Shared Key Authentication is not considered secure, because a hacker who detects both the clear-text challenge and the same challenge encrypted with a WEP key can decipher the WEP key. With Open Key Authentication, even if a client can complete authentication and associate with an AP, the use of WEP prevents the client from sending data to and receiving data from the AP, unless the client has the correct WEP key.

WEP is a security mechanism defined within the 802.11 standard designed is to make the link integrity of the wireless medium equal to wired cable. However it is not

When I activate the interface, I see errors like 'SET failed on device ethN ; Operation not supported.'

article in the Wall Street Journal of February 5, 2001, claimed that Berkeley crypto specialists had shown vulnerabilities of WEP, which were related to the length of the Initialisation Vector (IV).

bits WEP, 64-bits WEP are the same encryption level and can interoperate. The lower level of WEP encryption uses a 40-bits (10 Hex character) as "secret key" (set by user), and a 24-bits "Initialization Vector" (not under user control) (40+24=64). Some vendors refer to this level of WEP as 40-bits, others as 64-bits.

No, 128-bits WEP will not communicate with 64-bits WEP. Although 128-bits WEP also uses a 24-bits Initialization Vector, But it uses a 104-bits as secret key.
