I think something is wrong with the wlan_wep module or with the wi
driver. I have a strange script on my -current laptop which I run by
hand:
---snip---
ifconfig wi0 inet 192... wepmode on weptxkey 1 ssid ID
kldload wlan_wep
ifconfig wi0 wepkey 1:xxxx
wicontrol -L
route add default ...
ifconfig wi0 wepmode on
wicontrol -L
---snip---
If I don't do it this way (e.g. removing the setup of the first
ifconfig line to the second ifconfig line, or adding the wlan_wep
module to loader.conf), it will not find my accesspoint (FreeBSD 4.11,
wi0 in host-ap mode).
Bye,
Alexander.
