That doesn't work because that password is not a WEP key. It's a WPA key. WEP keys can't be 11 digits. You want something like this: ifconfig iwi0 nwid "Verizon MiFi2200 BB2F Secure" wpa wpapsk \ `wpa-psk "Verizon MiFi2200 BB2F Secure" "01234567891"` Note that if your iwi device has the same quirk as mine you have to run a scan after you change the nwid or you won't be able to get an IP address.
