This is what it looks like now:
rc.conf:
wlans_rum0="wlan0"
network_interfaces="lo0 rl0 wlan0" # List of network interfaces (or "auto").
ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1" # default loopback device configuration.
ifconfig_rl0="inet 172.27.4.219 netmask 255.255.248.0"
ifconfig_wlan0="10.0.0.1/24 wlanmode hostap ssid OFFICE wepmode on
wepkey 0xf00baaf00baaweptxkey 1 channel 1"
defaultrouter="172.27.2.116"
ifconfig:
rum0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 2290

Hmm, should I throw the Belkin thing into the waste and buy something
else? I was hoping that 8.0 had changed it to the better a bit. But if
you are saying, rum(4) is still crappy...
