ifconfig_ath0="ssid SSID wepmode mixed weptxkey 1 wepkey KEY DHCP"

where SSID is, that's right, your ssid and KEY is your WEP key. use 0x at the beginning of the key for hex or nothing preceding for ascii.

to retry your device connection, try this simple script:

#!/bin/sh
rm /var/db/dhcli*lease*ath0
ifconfig ath0 down
ifconfig ath0 up
dhclient ath0


if these answers don't help, it's time to read the freebsd handbook. check out /usr/share/doc/en/books/handbook and look for the network-wireless chapter.

best of luck.

Thank you very much brother/sister. The information you gave is detailed. I will try to do so. Thank u again.

SMBUTIL(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						SMBUTIL(1)

NAME
smbutil -- Interface to SMB requester SYNOPSIS
smbutil [-hv] command [-options] [args] DESCRIPTION
The smbutil command used to control SMB requester and issue various commands. There are two types of options - global and local to specified command. The global options are: -h Print short help message. -v Verbose output. The commands and local options are: crypt [password] Slightly encrypt clear text password to use it in the ~/.nsmbrc file. The encrypted password starts with '$$1' symbols. Warning: the encryption function is very weak and intented only to hide clear text password. If password is ommited from command line, program will prompt for one. help command Print usage information about command. lc List active connections and their parameters. login [-connection options] //[workgroup;][user[password]@] server[/share] Login/attach to the specified server and/or share as user. This command will create and authenticate connection to an SMB server, and will leave it active after exit. Thus, one can login only once and then use other SMB commands without authentication procedure and additional connections. For the description of [-connection options] see mount_smbfs(8) command (all uppercase options are con- nection options). logout //[workgroup;][user[password]@] server[/share] Logout/detach from the specified server and/or share as user. This command will destroy connection created by login command. A con- nection may not be closed immediately if it used by other programs. lookup [-w host] name Resolve given name to IP address. NetBIOS name server can be directly specified via [-w] option. print [-connection options] //[workgroup;][user[password]@] server[/share] file Send given file to the specified queue on the remote server. If file is '-', then standard input will be used. status server Resolve given server (IP address or DNS name) to NetBIOS workgroup and system name. view [-connection options] //[workgroup;][user[password]@] server List resources avaliable on the specified server for the user user. FILES
~/.nsmbrc keeps description for each connection. See ./examples/dot.nsmbrc for details. AUTHORS
