>Description:
Using both GENERIC and GENERIC + apm and the iwi-firmware-kmod port the iwi0 interface can be loaded and can scan the available networks. It can also associate with open networks, but attempts to configure WEP result in iwi0: firmware error followed by iwi0: device configuration failed

>How-To-Repeat:
as root, perform the following steps:

ifconfig iwi0 up
ifconfig ssid {SSID} authmode shared wepmode on wepkey s:{WEPKEY}
