>Description:
The default behavior of ifconfig has changed since 5.4 when configuring a wireless card.  Previously in rc.conf ifconfig_wi0="inet 192.168.1.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid RedHouse wepmode on wepkey 0xVALUE" would successfully configure your card.  Now in 6.0 you get the following error messages.

ieee80211_load_module: load the wlan_wep module by hand for now.
ifconfig: SIOCS80211: Invalid argument

This change is not noted in the freebsd handbook or the ifconfig(8) man page.

 A wireless documentation update is in the works.  Documentation in
 ifconfig(8) is inappropriate since the problem is that your kernel
 is misconfigured (you need the wlan_wep module built in or loaded at
 startup is you want to use wep).
