Hi,

http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/laptop/wireless/wificonfig/
instructs us to use :

# wificonfig -i ath0 createprofile essid=mywifi encryption=WEP wepkey1=12345

..to create a profile to accommodate WEP WLAN.  However the "-i" arg is
not required.

The command should be:

# wificonfig createprofile essid=mywifi encryption=WEP wepkey1=12345

mywifi and 12345 being replaced with your SSID and WEP key respectively.

Example:

# ./wificonfig createprofile essid=MYWLAN encryption=WEP
wepkey1=A25CFEF88643BB6262BC164BB1

..this creates a profile that you can refer to on subsequent occasions.
Like..

# ./wificonfig -i ath0 connect MYWLAN
./wificonfig: connecting to profile 'MYWLAN'

..this uses the profile created earlier to set the connection info.

#ifconfig ath0 plumb

...this plumbs the interface in

# ifconfig ath0 dhcp

....this configures it over DHCP fro a DHCP server on the network.

Worked for me  :-)
