Ok I'll give it a shot. That password that you entered to get the WEP 
keys is *not* a password. It's just some bytes used to generate a random 
key. Having said that, it's the key you need, not the password.

I've never used wifi-radar, but I've pulled up the project web page. 
Enter the WEP key into to Key textbox, then open the Security pull down 
and change it to WEP. If you've already done that, I'm not sure I can be 
of any more help, sorry. The only other advice I can give is to make 
sure you enter the key exactly as it appears in you linksys config.

HTH,
