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.
