Hi,

I have a question regarding the aironet an driver. I am using FreeBSD
-stable.

I would like a confirmation that I understood correctly the
differences between setting a WEP key with ancontrol and ifconfig.

WEP keys:
	ifconfig:  range 1-8, 1-4 temp, 5-8 perm,  default is 1 (temp)
	ancontrol: range 0-7, odd temp, even perm, default is 0 (perm)

"default" behaviour is different:
	ifconfig an0 wepkey thekey1 # set first temp key
	ancontrol -k thekey1        # set first perm key

is this correct?

if yes, I think the difference is confusing. I would vote for
ancontrol going the ifconfig way, or at least to set as default the
first perm key instead of the first perm key.


thanks
marco
