I hadn't tried to use my wireless stuff for months until a few days ago. I have
the hostap running on current and I was trying to connect with wepmode on from
a RELENG_5 laptop without success. I read the recent messages suggesting the
explicit setting of the wepkey and default key, but that didn't solve the problem.

I'll be away from the current box for 5 weeks and unable to debug anything, so I
know this message is virtally useless. I just wanted to say "me too".
