    Hi all,

    If I am not wrong, WEP algorithm is platform independent. Thus, the same
    generation string should generate the same set of keys for both windows OS
    and Linux OS. However, the test I have done shows that the same set of
    keys are generated at 64 bits, but not at 128 bits. Here is the detail.

    Generation String: test

    WEP program on linux: nwepgen on 0.1.8pre11. Its document says that it
    uses algorithm from Neesus Datacom Inc.

    WEP program on Windows: An application provided by Neesus Datacom Inc.

    At bit 64, both of them generate the same set of keys.

    At bit 128,

    linux generates:
    1b:9d:da:48:3d:94:1e:41:48:d0:91:b3:cd
    f0:63:e3:8d:00:86:c9:31:55:05:13:3b:b7
    97:6d:3d:c6:74:00:48:96:67:38:a8:9d:24
    cb:ce:cf:dd:f7:8e:07:10:0b:8b:a9:a3:28

    windows generates:
    Key 1: 9f:df:3b:fd:fb:10:af:eb:09:25:ef:96:05
    (the application only generates 1 key at 128-bit)

    Any hints here?

    Regards,
    Leonard Ye
