Default help turning netgear passphrase into wep code

If I could beg a favour could someone with access to a netgear device
with a wep key passphrase generator tell me what wep keys are
generated by the work happy

Thank-you very much

I'm trying to connect someone to a NETGEAR ME102 access point.

My other two options are

1, to insist people only buy and use netgear wireless adaptors which
come with the right passphrase generators they can just enter the word
happy (but don't tell you what the resulting wep key is they are
generating).

2, to take the router, find and install the correct linkysys
connecting software and find the right usb cable and then reset it to
the default factory settings to get around the password and then use
the passphrase generator to find out what wep key is being created
from the word happy and then set it all up again so it works as
before.

Neither of these two options fills me with joy so if someone with a
netgear device could just let me know what wep key comes from the word
happy I would be much obliged

many thanks

and yes stupid us for generating the wep keys with a proprietry
generator instead of using a generic one and writing down the wep key
somewere obvious.

Could you perhaps translate that into English? My guess is that you
want an ASCII to WEP key generator.

The right answers are either:
1. Don't use WEP. Use WPA which is secure.
2. Use the Hex key instead of the ASCII key. Hex always works.

However, if you really want a WEP key generator, see:

Install Active State Perl on your Windoze box to run the program.
