i would like to use my monastery's wireless lan, and they sent me the
ssid and the WAP-PSK passphrase. but i still need a key, don't i?

how do i initiate a connection with the ssid and the passphrase?

i'm using ndis to run my dell d600's wireless card:
  < from dmesg >
  ndis0: <Dell TrueMobile 1300 WLAN Mini-PCI Card> mem 0xfaffe000-0xfaffffff
  irq 5 at device 3.0 on pci2
  ndis0: NDIS API version: 5.0
  ndis0: Ethernet address: 00:90:96:b9:95:64
  ndis0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps
  ndis0: 11g rates: 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps
  </ from dmesg >
and i'm running 5.4-STABLE
  < output of uname -a >
FreeBSD localhost 5.4-STABLE FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE #1: Thu Sep 15
17:11:43 PDT 2005     jsn at localhost:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/CUSTOM  i386
  </ output of uname -a >

if someone could point me to the appropriate man page, i would be much
obliged to them.
