I rebuilt ifconfig from the sources you checked in, although I didn't do a full buildworld. Does it depend on a library change somewhere? The key I got from wicontrol wasn't zero-padded.

I take it there's no way for the driver/card to autodetect that there's a turbo network around and attach to it?

As I explained WEP doesn't work right now. Yeah, I know. I need to see if I can get an IPSec tunnel running to the router. My guess is that it will probably only want to talk IPSec over its "internet port". Ken -- Kenneth Merry ken@kdm.org
