I apologize in advance if this question has been asked and answered before, but I haven't really found a completely satisfactory answer anywhere that I looked.

My question is: what is the correct way to configure my wireless network card to use WEP and to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server at at startup? What's the magic line to insert into rc.conf?

uname -a:
FreeBSD laptop.xsb-internal.com 5.3-STABLE FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE #0: Wed Nov 3 06:45:45 EST 2004 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386


The closest thing I have found is https://cusg.eecs.berkeley.edu/~bira/freebsdwireless.html but this is for an older version of FreeBSD and it requires some weired hackery, such as inserting sleeps to (hopefully) allow the rest of the system to get to a point where wicontrol commands will work. Also, it seems to be for an older version of FreeBSD and uses deprecated wicontrol commands.

(It would be nice if sysinstall would handle this).

Please include me on any replies, as I am not subscribed to this list.

TIA
