how to wireles login when WEP and SSID are enabled

2006-02-12 Thread Default User
Hello. 

Simple question. I can make a wireless connect to a wireless router from
a computer with 802.11b adapter running OpenBSD 3.8 RELEASE with no
problem when SSID and WEP are disabled. When they are enabled, how can I
get it to prompt me for the SSID and WEP so I can enter them manually
and connect?

I have searched the FAQ, lists, etc. but can't seem to find the
answer.  

Thank you for any advice!

The older cards are... old, and so are their drivers. If it is a Prism
you have to use 2 programs: ifconfig and wicontrol:

#ifconfig wi0 nwkey key up #insert the
#wicontrol -n SSID -e 1 #insert the key and turn on encryption
#dhclient wi0

There is no way to make it 'prompt' you, at least not by default.
