wi0 values like Wepkey etc...

I decided to dump Windows for good and installed FreeBSD on my laptop. That
makes me happy, but I cannot for the life of me connect to the Internet via
my Dell TrueMobile PCMCIA-card.

I use this:

ifconfig wi0 ssis my_ssid wepmode on wepkey 0x12345.

I have set the SSID and can see that it works, but what is the syntax of
wepkey 0x12345? If my key is 12345 (decimal) do I use 0x12345, the hex-value
e.g. 0x3039, or just wepkey 12345?

Nothing seems to work. Is there something I am missing?
