Route #3 - USB 802.11 a/b/g

[Jim Stapleton]

OK, that's interesting, I tried, that, and got this:

ural0: flags=108843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,NEEDSGIANT> mtu 1500
        inet6 fe80::215:e9ff:fe2d:72c3%ural0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4
        inet 192.168.1.84 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 49.49.253.171
        ether 00:15:e9:2d:72:c3
        media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet OFDM/54Mbps (OFDM/54Mbps)
        status: no carrier
        ssid mine channel 6
        authmode OPEN privacy ON deftxkey 1 txpowmax 100 protmode CTS
        bintval 100

I've tried replacing wep with wepkey, I've tried weptxkey 1 to 4, no
luck on any of those.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks,
-Jim
