Has something changed? I hadn't tried to use my wireless stuff for months until a few days ago. I have the hostap running on current and I was trying to connect with wepmode on from a RELENG_5 laptop without success. I read the recent messages suggesting the explicit setting of the wepkey and default key, but that didn't solve the problem. I'll be away from the current box for 5 weeks and unable to debug anything, so I know this message is virtally useless. I just wanted to say "me too". -- John Birrell
