wep encryption

["Hillary Marek" <hmarek@hazen.com>]

Hello.  I have a FreeRadius 1.1.4 server setup on Fedora Core 6. Right Now I have it set up to filter Mac addresses and to authenticate against Active Directory. I am looking to add encryption, but unfortunately many of my wireless devices are older 802.11b devices that can't handle wpa. I am also restricted in how much I am allowed to put the end user through. Is there a way to cenralize a wep key in the server, as I have 26 access points that I would hope not to have to go into individually to add encryption (I already need to set up 70+ devices). Because I can't put any truly strong protection on the network, and I can't take the wlan off of the main network, I am trying to add as many layers of lesser protection as I can. Does anyone have any other ideas for me?

Thanks
