You should be able to do: # ifconfig ndis0 ssid ec60bfg3b4 wepmode on wepkey "0123456789123" up You don't state what command you actually use. You should have specified it in your e-mail. Note that usually the WEP key has to be either 5 or 13 characters. > Additionally I can't set the mode to 11g: You don't have to do that. It'll associate with 11g automatically. > Is anybody else using this device with FreeBSD 6.0? I've tested the 2200BG myself with the NDISulator 6.0 and I've been able to get it to associate with 11g networks. I don't know what's wrong in your case. -Bill -- ============================================================================= -Bill Paul (510) 749-2329 | Senior Engineer, Master of Unix-Fu wpaul@windriver.com | Wind River Systems ============================================================================= <adamw> you're just BEGGING to face the moose =============================================================================
