The handbook is really just to explain how things are working, not a "tell me 1:1 which commands I need to enter" tutorial and it's up to the user to configure everything to his needs. If you think documentation should be changed, you're free to join the docs team. I know they're happy for every helping hand to write the documentation. Anyway, to solve your problem, I'm really wondering if you're able to get your wifi network working when using either no wep key index number or at least start with number 1 index key? To start with wifi networks and figuring out how to configure them, it often helps to first start with unencrypted network configurations. If you have that running, you may just make the next step and enable WEP. If it doesn't work in the first step, please enable wlan debugging and see what you're getting. As you've been afraid to show us your dmesg or at least output of `uname -a', everything else is guesswork for us. Please notice, there have been wlan changes lately in the RELENG_7 branch, so it may make sense to you to cvsup to the latest, rebuild kernel + world and retry setting up everything. Also keep in mind, wep "protected" networks are known to get broken easily for years and it's advised to use WPA instead. hostapd and wpa_supplicant will happily do their jobs and it's not too difficult to set them up under FreeBSD.
