FreeBSD 7.0 and wep

Hi,

I am currently running FreeBSD 7.0 on a thinkpad T42. I have recently
placed a D-link DI-514 wireless router. It currently only offers WEP
protection. The Dlink is set for dhcpd. So I should just be able to grab
an ip. I also set the WEP key in the d link.

I read http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/network-wireless.html
and created /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf:
network={
ssid="network_name"
key_mgmt=NONE
wep_key3=111111111 <----- Just example
wep_tx_keyidx=3
}

So here is what happens when I try to connect.
[9:44am] Gargoyle[root@/root] >wpa_supplicant -i ath0 -c
/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
Trying to associate with 00:00:00:00:00:00 (SSID='network_name'
freq=2437 MHz)
Associated with 00:00:00:00:00:00
CTRL-EVENT-CONNECTED - Connection to 00:00:00:00:00:00 completed (auth)
[id=0 id_str=]

and it just sits there.

if I bring up ifconfig ath0 in another terminal.
[bhorne@Gargoyle:bhorne, 09:47 AM, Thu Oct 09]>ifconfig ath0
ath0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500

bmiss 7 scanvalid 60 bgscan bgscanintvl 300 bgscanidle 250

I will do ^c and end up with this:
^CCTRL-EVENT-TERMINATING - signal 2 received
ioctl[SIOCS80211, op 20, len 7]: Can't assign requested address


So what can I do to be able to access the wireless router with WEP?

Sincerely,
Brendhan
