Ok folks, I added the suggested stuff in /etc/rc.conf:
ifconfig_wi0="inet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid XXX
wepmode on weptxkey 1 wepkey 1:0xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
And /boot/loader.conf:
wlan_wep="YES"
Still a no-go. Light on the wireless nic just blinks.
I'm pretty much at a loss - anyone?
