Create a Wireless LAN Connection
In the Wireless Zero Config control panel (Double-click the W icon in the status tray):
1. Disable 802.1x.
2. Enable WEP.
3. Uncheck the box that says "The key is provided for me automatically".
4. Provide a WEP key. The key can be anything at all and it can be at any WEP key index.
The key is not used other than to prevent zero config from disassociating your network.
5. Click OK.

If WZC is managing the network and the user is running CCX/LEAP, once CCX/LEAP is
configured, if a user goes back to the "Wireless Networks" page and clicks OK, the CCX/LEAP
configuration gets modified. Clicking OK causes WZC to repeat the initial system configuration,
sets the infrastructure mode, and all of the dynamically assigned keys get cleared. The system
eventually recovers. In the interim, all communication is lost.
