Wireless woes: upgrade 5.4 to 6.0, wi0, etc...

[Kiffin Gish]

Yes I have. I also added it to the loader.conf file, the kernel 
configuration file, done a buildkernel etc. but no luck.

# /boot/loader.conf
wlan_wep_load="YES"

# /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC
device wlan_wep

But still no luck. What am I forgetting?
