Thanks, Sam.  I think I did a very poor job of explaining my problem.   
I'm going to try again using today's kernel as an example of the later  
versions that don't work rather than version from Sept 20 and previous  
that do work.

Verbose boot from today's kernel that seems to have problems, divided  
into the following sections:


# uname -a
FreeBSD ed.local.net.mx 8.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT #41: Tue Sep  
30 05:27:31
  CDT 2008     root_at_ed.local.net.mx:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ENCONTACTO  i386
ed.local.net.mx

# /etc/rc.conf for ath0:

wlans_ath0=wlan0
  ifconfig_wlan0="DHCP ssid virus wepmode on wepkey 1:0x2373FE9515 weptxkey 1"

The above and the following are on line at  
http://encontacto.net/SHARE/newInfo to not burden the mailing list.

# # # # # # # # # VERBOSE DMESG.BOOT FOR Sep 30 KERNEL # # # # # # # #

# # # # # # # # #  bg_scans after boot # # # # #
# # #
# # # # # # # # # # # IFCONFIG # # # # # # # # #  #

# # # # # # # # #  LIST SCAN # # # # # # # # #

I doubt that the information from Sep. 20 and previous that work are  
of much # # use. The KERNCONF's and all configuration haven't changed  
for at least 20 days and probably longer.

Thanks for any suggestions,
