Probably because you're adding a value that's not a mac address.

Re: Wireless Config error!

Yes, you need to add the double colons for every mac address, to add multiple mac addresses you add a comma at the end of each mac address with no spaces.

802.1X used or not Used

Re: Wireless Config error!

Are you trying to set up a whitelist of mac addresses ?
If so then enable Access Control Mac Address and enter the mac address of all of the wireless devices. Whilst a little more secure than just using wep, it's fairly easy to subvert, and a pain to keep adding mac addresses every time you want to connect a new device. You will disable 802.1x and distribute wep key.

Re: Wireless Config error!

Disable 802.1x and i believe the page will change enabling you to set the wep key.
