Hello,

I'm new to FreeBSD and I have a Toshiba Satellite A135-S4427 equipped
with an Intel 3945ABG wireless card. I searched a bit and I added
these to /boot/loader.conf
- ----CUT
if_wpi_load="YES"
wlan_load="YES"
wlan_amrr_load="YES"
firmware_load="YES"
wpifw_load="YES"
- ----CUT

Now I have a wpi0 interface I tried doing
- ----CUT
ifconfig wpi0 ssid eMxyzptlk wepkey "0xC1C731EA92AC05B1E7BA6186CF"
- ----CUT

but it doesn't associate with the AP all I see in ifconfig is
- ----CUT
wpi0: flags=8802
 metric 0 mtu 1500
    ether 00:19:d2:42:91:3f
    media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (autoselect)
    status: no carrier
    ssid eMxyzptlk channel 1 (2412 Mhz 11b)
    authmode OPEN privacy OFF wepkey 1:104-bit txpower 50 bmiss 7
    scanvalid 60 bintval 0
- ----CUT

my AP is channel 11 so tried to switch manually
- ----CUT
ifconfig wpi0 ssid eMxyzptlk wepkey "0xC1C731EA92AC05B1E7BA6186CF" channel 11
- ----CUT
but it didn't associate this way either

- ----CUT
wpi0: flags=8802
 metric 0 mtu 1500
    ether 00:19:d2:42:91:3f
    media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (autoselect)
    status: no carrier
    ssid eMxyzptlk channel 11 (2462 Mhz 11g)
    authmode OPEN privacy OFF wepkey 1:104-bit txpower 50 bmiss 7
    scanvalid 60 protmode CTS bintval 0
- ----CUT

I don't know where to go from here, I appreciate your help guys

Thanks.
