To set the current encryption key, just enter the key in hex digits as XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-

XXXX or XXXXXXXX. To set a key other than the current key, prepend or append [index] to

the key itself (this won't change which is the active key). You can also enter the key as an

ASCII string by using the s: prefix. Passphrase is currently not supported.

To change which key is the currently active key just enter [index] (without entering any key

value).

OFF and ON disables and enables again encryption.

The security mode may be open or restricted, and its meaning depends on the card used.

With most cards, in open mode no authentication is used and the card may also accept non-

encrypted sessions, whereas in restricted mode only encrypted sessions are accepted and

the card will use authentication if available.

If you need to set multiple keys, or set a key and change the active key, you need to use

multiple key directives. Arguments can be put in any order; the last one will take precedence.

Examples:

iwconfig eth0 key 0123-4567-89

iwconfig eth0 key [3] 0123-4567-89

iwconfig eth0 key s:password [2]

iwconfig eth0 key [2]

iwconfig eth0 key open

iwconfig eth0 key off

iwconfig eth0 key restricted [3] 0123456789

iwconfig eth0 key 01-23 key 45-67 [4] key [4]

power

Used to manipulate power management scheme parameters and mode.

To set the period between wake ups, enter period `value'. To set the timeout before going

back to sleep enter timeout ‘value'. You can also add the min and max modifiers. By default,

those values are in seconds, append the suffix m or u to specify values in milliseconds or

microseconds. Sometimes, those values are without units (number of beacon periods, dwell

or similar).

OFF and ON disables and enables again power management. Finally, you may set the power

management mode to all (receive all packets), unicast (receive unicast packets only, discard

multicast and broadcast) and multicast (receive multicast and broadcast only, discard unicast

packets).

Examples:

iwconfig eth0 power period 2

iwconfig eth0 power 500m unicast

iwconfig eth0 power timeout 300u all

iwconfig eth0 power off

iwconfig eth0 power min period 2 power max period 4
