Hello!

I need to connect my laptop to the wireless NIC on my FreeBSD 6.0-STABLE 
gateway.
It's ral0, and I've set it to ad-hoc mode. My laptop, running Windows XP, can 
see
the network "bsd" but not ping it / connect to it.

I used some ascii2hex converter that I found online to turn the wep key "1n4te"
into "316E3474410D0B".

# ifconfig ral0 inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 media autoselect mode 
11b mediaopt adhoc ssid bsd wepmode on wepkey 316E3474410D0B

# dmesg | grep ral0
ral0: <Ralink Technology RT2500> mem 0xfeafc000-0xfeafdfff irq 22 at device 1.0 
on pci2

# ifconfig ral0 -m
ral0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet6 fe80::214:85ff:fe1b:cbdf%ral0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2
        ether 00:14:85:1b:cb:df
        media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (DS/1Mbps)
        status: no carrier
        ssid bsd channel 11
        authmode OPEN privacy ON deftxkey UNDEF txpowmax 100 protmode CTS
        bintval 100

I appreciate this guys!
Thanks!
