Sandisk WiFi+256 card using WPA-PSK

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

Hello:

(I've searched and searched for an answer here, if I missed a post with
a solution, kinldy point me to it)

I'm running pocketpc 2003 using a Sandisk WiFi + 256mb sd card. I have
a wireless network using WPA-PSK on a Cisco 1120 access point. I CAN
connect to the access point if no profile is setup. A message appears
that an access point is found and I'm prompted for the network key,
which I enter using ASCII, not hex.

I don't want to have to type the key every time I connect though, so I
need to use a profile to connect using the Sandisk utility. I've setup
the profile, but when I get to the authentication tab and enter the
network key (in ascii) it complains that it's not a valid hex key. I
tried converting the ascii key to hex using
http://centricle.com/tools/ascii-hex/ (which puts % signs which I
removed), but that doesn't seem to allow me to connect.

That converter maked "Hello12345" to 48656c6c6f31323335. Does this look
right?

Any suggestions?

Thanks
