[ubuntu-uk] wep key and ubuntu

[Josh Blacker]

Hi,
Is this a BT Home Hub router/phone combo you're talking about? If so look on
the back of the hub, there should be two sets of information: a BT Home Hub
SSID/wep key, which will be for your wireless internet and a BT Fusion id
and passkey which I guess is for the phone - we only have the router and not
the phone so I don't use this. (I do actually have problems finding the
network and connecting to it, but that's another matter...).
Hope this helps?
