Hello!
Yesterday I've cvsuped my 5.3 system to RELENG_6 and now I have an issue with my Atheros 5212 wlan card.
The problem is that if I don't use WEP mode then all works fine. But if I want to use WEP as I've done it under 5.3-RELEASE then I can't ping any hosts in the network (I wait and get no answeres and no error message from ping)...
I've tried to load the wlan, wlan_wep, if_ath modules in different ways (from loader.conf, manually, in different order...) but there's always the same problem - i can't get a connection to the wlan network.
The loaded kernel modules are:
...
wlan.ko
wlan_wep.ko
if_ath.ko
ath_rate.ko
ath_hal.ko
The config line in rc.conf is:
ifconfig_ath0="inet 192.168.0.12 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid razik.de wepmode mixed wepkey 1234567890123"
The ifconfig ath0 output is:
ath0:...

dmesg output is:

Does anyone have an idea what there could be wrong?

Lukas
