The purpose of WEP or WPA is to insure (to the extent possible) that only
authorized computers (with keys) can use the network.
The proper way to obtain a key is to approach the person who is in charge of
the network and request authorization. If he approves, he will issue you the
required key.

The guy is on vacation, A teacher needs to connect to the network to teach a lesson.
Nothing illegal or bad. Otherwise I would not ask this question. I do not want to use
unauthorized network without permission. I can ask permission from Administration, but
the guy that knows the key is not here. If there is no way to do it, then I rest my
case! The person can die and then the key is lost to the network. There has to be a way
to do it. The computer could access the network before. it was set up by wireless dhcp,
but now someone who manages the network put a key and many users(teachers) cannot access
the internet. The person that takes care of that is on vacation. Is there a way or not?
That is all that I am asking.
Thanks,
Antonio
