It depends on what you want to do. In your example, you create an access
point and try to ping another host. Is that host connected to your
newly created access point?

If you don't want to be an access point but connect to another one,
invoke ifconfig like this:

# ifconfig ural0 192.168.1.84 ssid your_ssid wep nwkey 0xyourkey weptxkey 1

(you don't need the inet keyword and the netmask if you use a standard
 netmask)

If that is not what you want to do, forget this message ;-)
