feeding 128-bit wep hex key to Mac

For historical reasons, my home wifi router uses a WEP 128-bit HEX key. It caused troubles while installing a Mac. The setup program accepted only 40-bit keys. Fortunately, the workaround is simple. Specify to use WEP with password, and as the password set "$0123...012345" -- the character $ (dollar) followed by the key.
