WPA-psk is the basic method which uses any passphrase of 8 to 63chars. As far as 10 digit hex, are yousure it is not a WEP 64 hex key because that would fit the descriptionbetter.

As far as I know, a WPA-PSK setup can also use a full 256 byte keyspecified via 64 ASCII hex chars ( which is why the passphrase can onlybe 63 chars in length ).
