A couple things regarding this new wireless driver - the
wepkey option to ifconfig no longer seems to work; I get a 
"SIOCS80211: Invalid argument".  Secondly and more importantly,
even when the wepkey is set via wicontrol, I can't seem to get 
any connectivity at all anymore.

ifconfig wi0:

flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

But I'm unable to ping my gateway, a -STABLE box with the same card.  I
did recompile with device wlan, and tried the generic kernel as well. 
Disabling WEP has no effect.

Could someone give me a pointer as to how to debug this?

Thanks,
David
