Re: WEP in Lucent silver card



This is almost certainly firmware version specific.  On OpenBSD the
firmware rev. is listed in the kernel bootup message.  I have no
idea what FreeBSD does.  The OpenBSD wicontrol also prints this
info but I don't think FreeBSD's does.

Anyway, I do this for an IBSS master:
    wicontrol wi0 -p 0 -c 1 -n 'My BSSID' -q 'My BSSID' 
And for a client:
    wicontrol wi0 -p 0 -n 'My BSSID'

That is using Lucent firmware 8.10.  I have also done this with
Prism2 cards using firmware 0.8.3.  If you are using a Lucent card
where '-p 0' doesn't work, '-p 1' should work instead unless your
firmware is < 6.16 in which case it does not support IBSS.  If you
are using Prism2 firmware < 0.8.2 IBSS probably doesn't work.
