Which version of FBSD are you on? On 5.X you can add options to the
dchlient.conf as described in the previous mail. Alternatively you can
(IIRC) add options in rc.conf:
ifconfig_wi0="ssid <SSID> wepmode on wepkey <WEPKEY> DHCP"
This has the unfortunate effect that you can only configure for one network.
On 6.0 the old dhclient has been replaced by OpenBSD's dhclient and
wpa_supplicant. In that case, including options in dhclient.conf won't work.
Instead you configure the wireless networks you know in wpa_supplicant.conf
Cheers, Erik
