Then of course I found out it was a PEBKAC; I used this command to configure ath0: # ifconfig ath0 ssid FOO wepmode on wepkey 0xBAR which showed an association but did not allow packets to be sent. The correct incantation is # ifconfig ath0 ssid FOO wepmode on wepkey 0xBAR weptxkey 1 which, I presume, also sets the wepkey to be used for transmitting packets after destination. I must say that I don't really see the value of specifying the WEP key and then not using it, but then again this is not my OS :-) Thanks for thinking with me, Giorgios! --Stijn --=20 "Diane, 2:15 in the afternoon, November 14.
