I have OpenBSD 3.8 on a PowerBook G4, an Avaya
wireless card (wi0) and my AP.
My problem is when I active the WEP in the AP
(WEP-Open), my wireless lost connection.

This my card configuration:
wicontrol -e 1 -k abcde123456 -t 6 -n MyName -p1  -f 6
[... snip ...]
Never used wicontrol ... but you can do the same thing using
ifconfig. In this case it would be:

/sbin/ifconfig wi0 chan 6 media autoselect mode 11b nwid MyName \
nwkey persist:abcde123456

You can even put this in your /etc/hostname.wi0 file (writing ! before
ifconfig) and replace wi0 with $if. E.g.

inet 172.16.211.1 255.255.255.0 NONE
!ifconfig $if chan 6 media autoselect mode 11b nwid MyName nwkey
persist:abcde123456

Then it should be set on boot time.

Hope that helps,

Andreas.

P.S.: See man ifconfig and get the list of supported modes running
ifconfig -m wi0
