Configure wireless connection using Cisco aironet 350

[Imrani]

I don't have any netstart-home.sh under /root directory. Moreover I dont' want IPv6 and its not something I expect.
   
  With regards to bringing up network, problem is network doesn't work and this is what I did:
   
  1) edited /etc/rc.conf and add following line:
  ifconfig_an0="DHCP"

  2) Then I run following command:
  ifconfig an0 inet 192.168.2.110 netmask 255.255.255.0 wepmode on wepkey 0x00000000000000000000654321 ssid myhome
   
  Once I run this.. ifconfig an0 status shows "associated"
   
  but unfortunately i cannot use this network for any connection. Even ping 192.168.2.1 doesn't work (thats my router IP).
   
  but I get this problem:
   
  "an0: record length mismatch -- expected 194, got 196 for Rid ff10"
   
  can u please suggest something?
   
  Thanks

Your interface only has an IPv6 address. Is that expected? How
are you bringing up the an0 interface?

For instance, my /root/netstart-home.sh script contains (among a
few other things):

# Default setup for my bge0 interface.
export ifconfig_ath0="DHCP ssid 'XXXX' \
wepmode on weptxkey 1 wepkey '1:0xXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'"

/etc/rc.d/netif stop bge0
/etc/rc.d/netif stop ath0
/etc/rc.d/netif start ath0

This seems to take care of everything here.
