Mac OS X Snow Leopard: Exclamation icon displayed in AirPort Menu Extra after entering a WEP passwor

When you atempt to connect to a Wi-Fi router that requires a WEP password by using the correct password, you may not be able to connect to the Internet or other Wi-Fi devices on the same network. You may note that the AirPort Menu Extra shows an AirPort icon with an exclamation point and that your computer has a self-assigned link local address (such as 169.254.x.x). The AirPort menu may also indicate that there is an "Alert: No Internet connection..."

NAME
airport2-config - Configurator for the Apple AirPort Extreme Base Station ("Snow") SYNOPSIS
airport2-config DESCRIPTION
airport2-config allows you to manage your AirPort base station, just like the AirPort software on Mac OS X. OPTIONS
airport2-config accepts no command-line options. airport2-config is a wrapper script around the Airport2BaseStationConfigurator.jar jar file located in /usr/share/java/airport-utils. You can set the JAVACMD environment variable to use a specific JVM instead of the one chosen by the wrapper script. Set the DEBUG environ- ment variable to 1 to get the debug output from the wrapper script. ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
DEBUG Set this variable to 1 to get the debug output from the wrapper script. JAVACMD The full path to the Java Virtual Machine to use. By default, the wrapper uses JAVACMD; if it is not set, it looks for JAVA_BINDIR/java, then for JAVA_HOME/bin/java before looking for a java executable in the PATH. In the latter case, the JVM used can be configured using the Debian alternatives system (see update-alternatives(8)). JAVA_HOME The full path where your JDK/JRE is installed. JAVA_BINDIR The full path to the directory where the java executable is located. JAVA_ARGS Extra command-line arguments to be passed to the Java Virtual Machine. AUTHOR
