pccard, wi0, wep and DHCP

2005-09-05 Thread Maarten Sanders
Hi, If used to have my wives laptop configured with rc.conf containing: 'ifconfig_wi0="DHCP"' this works and brings up wi0. Since my town is crowded with wardrivers I would like to use wep. Because my wife often inserts the pcmcia card after booting I also like to have pccard enabled. I can manual
