Hello Andrew! The FreeBSD handbook goes over this topic in some detail. The jist of it is: # ifconfig wi0 inet up ssid my_net wepmode on wepkey 0x1234567890 media DS/11Mbps mediaopt hostap And you can turn on WEP on a client with this command: # ifconfig wi0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid my_net wepmode on wepkey 0x1234567890 More can be found here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-wireless.html Regards, Scott -- FreeSBIE mailing list (http://www.freesbie.org)
