In your /etc/rc.conf put:

ifconfig_wi0="DHCP"

Add the following file to /etc:    start_if.wi0

Add your ifconfig settings to that file:

ifconfig wi0 ssid whatever wepkey xxxxxx wepmode 0

Of course change wi0 to whatever driver your card uses. This worked for me and 
should work when you reboot.
