FWIW -- at the time I have encountered this (mid-to-late December?), I have played with Prism 2 cards (wi), 2 different Broadcom cards (ndis) and one Atheros 5212 (ath). For all four of them adding 'weptxkey 1' to ifconfig got me connected and adding 'deftxkey 1' did not. I do not have most of these cards any more, but with my Prism 2 card(wi) and yesterday's -current I get connected whether I use weptxkey or deftxkey. -- Alexandre "Sunny" Kovalenko (Олександр Коваленко)
