✨ NAME ✨

nwepgen — generates Neesus Datacom compatible WEP keys 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

nwepgen genstr length

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so real talk: nwepgen takes a string and turns it into Neesus Datacom compatible WEP keys. That's it. That's the job. Lowkey a one-trick pony and she ate every single time. 💅

Here's the thing though — you will typically not run it by hand. Nope! Not you, not manually, not today. She gets called by the linux-wlan-ng initialization scripts if you specify a WEP key string in the config file. So she's basically the backstage crew of your wifi setup: you never see her, but the show does not go on without her. 👑

Bestie note: if you're sitting there typing nwepgen into your terminal for funsies, you're probably doing it the long way. Let the init scripts handle it, fr fr. 🫶
