I'm trying to get my toshiba laptop's wireless connection configured on
freebsd 6.0 stable.  It's got an intel pro wireless 2200bg card.  I'm
trying to connect to a dhcp wireless network with 64 bit wep.  Here's
what I've done:

I installed iwi-firmware-2.4_2.tbz as a package

me at myputer$ dmesg | grep iwi
iwi0: <Inter(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG> mem 0xb8006000-0xb8006fff irq 22 at
device 2.0 on pci6
iwi0: Ethernet address: <ethernet_address>

me at myputer$ kldload wlan_wep
me at myputer$ iwicontrol -i iwi0 -d /boot/firmware -m bss
me at myputer$ ifconfig iwi0 10.1.10.109 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid
<my_ssid> wepmode on wepkey <my_webkey>
iwi0: fatal errorme at myputer$ 
iwi0: device configuration failed

if I do 'ifconfig iwi0', i get:
---snip--
inet 10.1.10.109 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.1.10.255
ether <my_ethernet_address>
media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect
status: no carrier
ssid <my_ssid> channel 1
authmode OPEN privacy ON deftxkey UNDEF wepkey 1:104-bit txpowmax 100
protmode CTS

Any help would be awesome

thanks
