Hi,

Runing -current i386 as of February 19.

Tried to use an ath wireless on my laptop, it wouldn't associate using:

# ifconfig ath0 ssid GoAway wepkey 0xdeadbeef1234567890deadbeef wepmode on

Set "wlandebug scan+auth+assoc", got the following in
/var/log/messages.  (I've trimmed to 100 lines, the remainder is more
of the same.

Any suggestions, folks?  Proper next steps to debug?

Thanks,
==ml
