Even entering the commands manually at the command line (with no script) doesn't work. BTW: I'm not sure, but I think "-t 11" works but is undocumented, since the wi man page states that 11MBps is supported and the equivalent ifconfig ("ifconfig wi0 mediao DS/11Mbps") works ok. But I have tried leaving the -t setting at it's default with no success. In the course of my toubleshooting I have tried a bare bones approach. Like so: - no pccard_ether entry in rc.conf - no start_if.wi0 script - stock pccard.conf (i.e. no wicontrol commands in it) - configure from the command line via wicontrol or ifconfig -wicontrol -k 0x1111111111 -v 1 -wicontrol -e 1 or -ifconfig wi0 nwkey 1:0x1111111111 All to no avail...
