The WEP key can be presented in two Key type, HEX and ASCII. Each ASCII character has 8 bits,
so a 40-bit (or 64-bit) WEP key contains 5 characters, and a 104-bit (or 128-bit) key has 13
characters. In hex, each character uses 4 bits, so a 40-bit key has 10 hex characters, and a 128-bit
key has 26 characters.
