If you do not build kernel modules there are several things to include
in 6.0 kernel when
you migrate from 5.4. The reason for the error in your case is probably
missing wlan_wep device.
#5.4
device wlan # 802.11 support
device ath
device ath_hal
#6.0
device wlan # 802.11 support
device wlan_wep
device ath
device ath_hal
device ath_rate_onoe
And actually, I had to change rc.conf line for my ath card a little bit.
For some reason in 6.0 it doesn't work without wepkey number specified.
in 5.4 it was:
ifconfig_ath0="inet 192.168.0.99 ssid MirinNET channel 1 wep wepkey
0x000000000000000000000 authmode open"
in 6.0 it became
ifconfig_ath0="inet 192.168.0.99 ssid MirinNET channel 1 wep wepkey
0x00000000000000000000 authmode open weptxkey 1"

Stephen,
You are doing better than me. I try this:
ifconfig ath0 wepkey 12345
and get
ifconfig: SIOCS80211: Invalid argument
(Actually maybe that is happening to you as well, but since you are
setting ifconfig_ath0 from within rc.conf, you might be missing this
error message as it flies by in your start up.)
Nope, my atheros card is comming up perfectly with WEP. When I do the
configuration with ifconfig, I also don't get any error's. The only
thing is, 802_11 frame's with WEP are dropped.
I get this error on other wireless cards as well.
An other card (Lucent Gold) (wi) is working perfect with WEP, so I
think you have a totaly different problem than me.
