hi, basically there are two things for you to do :) one: forget wicontrol two: learn ifconfig first.. when you insert your LinkSys WMP11 card into any of the slots... make sure that it's properly identified... #ifconfig -a should tell you.. next... issue this sort of command... say... with ssid "My Wireless Net", wepmode enabled, weptxkey as 2nd key, wepkey as some_key #ifconfig wi0 ssid "My Wireless Net" wepmode ON weptxkey 2 wepkey 2:some_key followed by #ifconfig -a which should tell you that your "status: associated" to the network (may take a while)the other response can be "status: no carrier" (means wireless not working) then just run... #dhclient wi0 to get the ip one last reminder... get a life forget wicontrol :) On Sun, Jun 16, 2002 at 03:20:19PM -0700, dlawson@gsc.net wrote: > I have a LinkSys WMP11 card and am trying to configure it > with FreeBSD-Stable.
