The regdomain database complaint means you don't have /etc/regdomain.xml installed which means your system is not installed properly. The iwn complaint can be ignored. I would not be at all surprised if iwn does not implemented shared key auth wep correctly as it's a really bad idea and so likely not tested. If wep is your only option I'd just turn it off entirely; it provides zero security. Sam
