This is a fresh installation of 10.0-RELEASE (amd64).

Despite following the relevant section in the handbook, I can't seem to get wireless networking (at home) set up properly.

The router is on 192.168.1.1, using WEP (yes, I know) and I am trying to give FreeBSD a fixed IP address of 192.168.1.3.

Here is the output of ifconfig wlan0:

wlan0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
	ether 0c:ee:e6:80:ed:52

	wepkey 1:104-bit txpower 20 bmiss 7 scanvalid 60 protmode CTS
	ampdulimit 64k ampdudensity 4 shortgi wme burst

But when I try, for example, to ping 8.8.8.8 (Google's public DNS), all packets are lost.

What am I doing wrong? What other information should I provide?
