It's been a long time since I've used an open/WEP wireless network, so 
this is from aged memory:

When you config the interface for the first time, you have to include 
"up" in order for the interface to come up correctly.  Doing so 
afterward doesn't have the same effect.  Add "up" to the end of your 
ifconifg_iwi0 line in /etc/rc.conf and then do:

# /etc/rc.d/netif stop iwi0
# /etc/rc.d/netif start iwi0
