Greg:
Negative. I had to change things bec I use a static IP. But this
is the routing I was given (allowing for the mandatory security changes)
by FBSD. The only thing I did in this regard was to set defaultrouter to
"1.2.3.1". I'm not knowledgeable enuf to do my own routes yet.

WEP is mandatory, otherwise the wi0 doesn't get a carrier. I've
tried using a key in ASCII *and* in hex. The resulting key displayed
by wicontrol is the same....

I *do* have those features enabled, however my initial tests have me
sitting in front of the FBSD console, issuing a simple PING to a known
IP (ie. my nameserver and the ISP's gateway.) Until I can do this, I have
no way of knowing if *anything* is working, so I don't *use* anything other
than the essential utils at the keyboard. But I will disable the gateway
and natd until I can at least PING something.... -- Jetman
