    I don't have any netstart-home.sh under /root directory. Moreover I dont' want IPv6 and its not something I expect.
       
      With regards to bringing up network, problem is network doesn't work and this is what I did:
       
      1) edited /etc/rc.conf and add following line:
      ifconfig_an0="DHCP"

      2) Then I run following command:
      ifconfig an0 inet 192.168.2.110 netmask 255.255.255.0 wepmode on wepkey 0x00000000000000000000654321 ssid myhome
       
      Once I run this.. ifconfig an0 status shows "associated"
       
      but unfortunately i cannot use this network for any connection. Even ping 192.168.2.1 doesn't work (thats my router IP).
       
      but I get this problem:
       
      "an0: record length mismatch -- expected 194, got 196 for Rid ff10"
       
      can u please suggest something?
       
      Thanks

    Your interface only has an IPv6 address. Is that expected? How
    are you bringing up the an0 interface?

    For instance, my /root/netstart-home.sh script contains (among a
    few other things):

    # Default setup for my bge0 interface.
    export ifconfig_ath0="DHCP ssid 'XXXX' \
    wepmode on weptxkey 1 wepkey '1:0xXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'"

    /etc/rc.d/netif stop bge0
    /etc/rc.d/netif stop ath0
    /etc/rc.d/netif start ath0

    This seems to take care of everything here.
