Hi all,
	Trying to install FreeBSD 5.2.1 onto my laptop. I have a LinkSys
WRT54G wireless gateway, and the Cisco 250 card which "should" support
802.11b mode into the Linksys (running in mixed mode).  I'm researching
options to get the NIC working...but from the manual page(s) of ifconfig
I've only found this tidbit, which makes me wonder...

A WEP key will be either 5 or 13 characters (40 or 104 bits) depending
of the local net- work and the capabilities of the adaptor.

My LinkSys has the options for 128 bit or 64bit WEP, naturally I went
with 128.  This works great for all my Windows boxes...but how do I get
FreeBSD to light up the card?

Thanks in advance.
