No, actually, I'm pretty certain now that you are not correct. I believe
you are thinking of ASCII passphrase, not ASCII key. Converting ASCII
keys to HEX and back again is merely HEX representations of ASCII
characters. I don't care what sort of router or card you're using,
ABCDEFG in ASCII is 41424344454647 in HEX.
