RE: how to change the WEP key programmatically??

There isn’t “official” support for 802.11 in operating systems older than
Windows XP. However, some vendors have been known to leave in the 802.11
OID support in their Win2K drivers; but not advertise through the
OID_GEN_SUPPORTED_LIST. You would need to mimic the 802.11 functionality
from the DDK header into a private header, and then access the OIDs from
userspace (IOCTL_NDIS_QUERY_GLOBAL_STATS, via NDISUIO, or some other filter
driver). You would not be able to use WMI, since the functionality is not
present for 802.11 on pre-WinXP flavors.

I run Win2K professional, SP4, in two machines at home, both on an 802.11g
link to my gateway, which in turn connects to my Comcast cable. Works
beautifully !

I didn’t say 802.11 didn’t work on Windows Operating Systems older than
Windows XP, I said the 802.11 OIDs aren’t supported on them. Every WLAN
vendor needed to have a proprietary solution prior to WinXP; which is still
available to the user if they decide to not let Windows manage their
wireless network(s).

The 802.11 OIDs are a part of NDIS 5.1; which is currently only supported by
Windows XP. Possible Windows Server 2003, I’m not certain of that.

Windows 2000 supports only NDIS 5.0, as does Windows Me and Windows 98 SE.
