WEP text-password to hex-key hashing formula

Hi,

I'm working on a project that is to interface with an apple airport.
This involves embedded hardware for which we've written drivers. We
would like to use the apple text-password to connect to the airport.
However, this means converting the text-password to a hex-key.

Until now I've not found the formula by which Apple does the
conversion (this is about keys that are not 5 or 13 chars long). Does
anyone know what this formula is? Or, how I can attain it? Signing a
NDA is not a problem.

Thanks.

Note: The solution is not direct conversion of ASCII to hex values.
Note: I know WEP is insecure.
Note: this is my first post to the apple lists, please correct me if
anything is wrong ;)
