I have a Linksys PCI wireless card that is being attached by "ral" driver: ral0: <Ralink Technology RT2561S> mem 0xcffe8000-0xcffeffff irq 17 at device 10.0 on pci0 ral0: MAC/BBP RT2561C, RF RT2527 ral0: Ethernet address: 00:18:f8:2e:40:25 ral0: [ITHREAD] But when I do 'ifconfig ral0 list caps' it returns: ral0=2181e500<IBSS,HOSTAP,TXPMGT,SHSLOT,SHPREAMBLE,MONITOR,WPA1,WPA2,BGSCAN> and WEP isn't there. This looks amazing since WEP is older and very widespread. So how can I tell if this card can't really support WEP or it's the driver that can't support it? Also command: ifconfig ral0 inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid freebsdap wepmode on weptxkey 3 wepkey 3:0x3456789012 authmode open mode 11g mediaopt hostap succeeds though CAPS doesn't have WEP. Isn't this a bug? Yuri
