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.
