As I've said before, the SMC card's 128bit WEP works fine under 'doze but not under FreeBSD, which is why mine is now in my wife's laptop. I just retested, with -STABLE from Nov 25th and got; wi0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0xff000000 broadcast 255.255.255.255 ether 08:00:46:05:d6:93 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (DS/2Mbps) status: associated ssid wl.rfc.pir.net stationname "" channel 6 authmode NONE powersavemode OFF powersavesleep 100 wepmode MIXED weptxkey 1 wepkey 1:128-bit which looked promising so I tried dhclient and got it so slow for a while I thought it had hung and a bunch of errors; wi0: watchdog timeout wi0: init failed wi0: timeout in wi_seek to fce0/0; last status ffff wi0: timeout in wi_seek to fc07/0; last status ffff wi0: timeout in wi_seek to fc81/0; last status ffff wi0: timeout in wi_seek to fc00/0; last status ffff wi0: timeout in wi_seek to fc83/0; last status ffff wi0: timeout in wi_seek to fc84/0; last status ffff wi0: timeout in wi_seek to fc06/0; last status ffff [...] lots moe of these. wi0: timeout in wi_seek to fc80/0; last status ffff wi0: failed to allocate 1594 bytes on NIC wi0: tx buffer allocation failed wi0: failed to allocate 1594 bytes on NIC wi0: mgmt. buffer allocation failed wi0: flags=8c43 mtu 1500 inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0xff000000 broadcast 255.255.255.255 ether 08:00:46:05:d6:93 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect status: no carrier Then I pulled the card ... and a little while later got; wi0: detached pccard: card removed, slot 0 Dec 25 21:59:42 disapp pccardd[118]: wi0: SMC (SMC2632W) removed. and the machine woke up again.
