Does anyone know if it is possible to change the key index position? I know its possible to change it in windows, but it seems like osx doesn't allow changes and is stuck at position 1.

ok now that im on an actual computer i can explain better.
The situation is like this.
My school's wifi is WEP encrypted, anyone who brings a computer to school and uses the wifi will need their "WEP encryption key index" changed to "2". Now, this all works for windows based machines, BUT, for a mac, it doesnt seem like one can change the WEP encryption key index/position, and OSX defaults to position "1". SO without changing the index key position, I do not have access to the internet, I CAN connect to the router, but without changing the key position, I wont be able to acquire a working IP from the router I think.
WEP encryption key index has something to do with the position the password is stored, and without being in the right position, i wont have the right access, thats all I understand.
