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

With WPA you should be able to use straight ASCII and not have to use Hex. I
use a 63-character totally random ASCII WPA-PSK (TKIP) key on my iPAQ 5555
with a Buffalo WBR-G54 wireless access point/router.

http://www.kurtm.net/wpa-pskgen/

I simply create the key, copy it to a .txt file and move the file to my
iPAQ. Then I can open the file and cut-n-paste the key into the wireless
properties. I delete the file from my iPAQ when finished as a security
precaution. The same with my Buffalo. I just copy the key into my desktop
clipboard then paste the key into the Buffalo key configuration window...

Does the Sandisk card support WPA-PSK?
