I fixed the setting of the wepkey by ifconfig but still have to track down
why wep doesn't work (looks like xmit is fine but rcvd packets are being
dropped by the card). FWIW you can enable debugging info for the 802.11
state machine with:
sysctl debug.ieee80211=1
and get 802.11 frames by the driver printed with:
ifconfig wi0 debug link2
Setting the sysctl value to >1 will give more verbose output which is
unlikely to be useful. I have to commit some mods to tcpdump and bpf before
you can use tcpdump to tap packets at the 802.11 link layer.
