Re: howto load or install wlan_wep module on freeBSD 5.4 ?
Is the channel correct? yes, it is, without wep works well Do you have an active firewall that could be blocking the wireless interface? no, I don't have any firewall active authmode OPEN is the problem, because ifconfig can not set to SHARED automatically or manually ! do you have authmode OPEN and you use a shared key ?
