You could also use wpa_supplicant to handle the wep'ing. Here's a
sample /etc/wpa_supplicant file:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
network={
ssid="NETWORKNAMEHERE"
key_mgmt=NONE
wep_key0="abcde"
wep_key1=0102030405
wep_key2="1234567890123"
wep_tx_keyidx=0
priority=5
}
that ought to work.
I *think* that you can just add WPA to the ifconfig_ath0 line and do
away with /etc/start_if.ath0.
