Define "don't seem to work." In theory, the Win2k and WinXP drivers
should both work, though admittedly I only experimented with the XP
ones myself. I suppose since I have sample Centrino cards, I should be
able to track this down, but if you could elaborate on what problems
you had with the Win2k drivers, it would help.

I don't know what led you to believe this. WEP is supported, as are
both infrastructure and ad-hoc mode:

Sample ad-hoc mode initialization:

# ifconfig ndis0 mediaopt adhoc
# ifconfig ndis0 ssid "yournetname"
# ifconfig ndis0 wepmode on
# ifconfig ndis0 wepkey 0x12345678901234567890123456

Sample infrastructure mode initialization:

# ifconfig ndis0 media autoselect
# ifconfig ndis0 ssid "yournetname"
# ifconfig ndis0 wepmode on
# ifconfig ndis0 wepkey 0x12345678901234567890123456

Note: WEP keys should be either 10 or 26 hex digits (or 5/13 ASCII
characters) in length (which corresponds to the 40/128 bit key sizes,
respectively). Any other size likely won't work.

You should also be able to combine these into a single command:

# ifconfig ndis0 10.0.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00 up ssid "yournetname" mediaopt adhoc wepmode on wepkey 0x12345678901234567890123456 up
