Linksys WPC11 version 3.0 - Doesn't work with FreeBSD

Hi,

I recently bought a Linksys WPC11 NIC, version 3.0, and now I experience
a bit of trouble trying to make it work.

The problem is:

I have a Linksys WAP11 AP, Configured to use SHARED authentication, and
with a 128-bit WEP key, and a WPC11 NIC.

--- /var/log/messages ---
Nov 10 16:37:57 nicci kernel: wi0: <Instant Wireless Network PC Card, Versin 3> at port 0x100-0x13f irq 11 function 0 config 1 on pccard1
Nov 10 16:37:57 nicci kernel: wi0: 802.11 address: 00:06:25:0b:08:75
Nov 10 16:37:57 nicci kernel: wi0: using RF:PRISM3(PCMCIA)
Nov 10 16:37:57 nicci kernel: wi0: Intersil Firmware: Primary 1.01.00, Station 1.04.02

I works like a charm in Windows, but when I switch to FreeBSD it won't
associate with the AP if I enable WEP.

I got a small script I use to set the different parameters:

#!/bin/sh

/sbin/ifconfig wi0 authmode shared
/usr/sbin/wicontrol -i wi0 -P 1
/usr/sbin/wicontrol -i wi0 -k 0x123456789 -v 4
/usr/sbin/wicontrol -i wi0 -T 4
/usr/sbin/wicontrol -i wi0 -e 1
/usr/sbin/wicontrol -i wi0 -n my_net

As you can see below it associates once WEP is disabled, and drops again
once it's enabled.

--- ifconfig output ---

        channel 9 authmode SHARED powersavemode CAM powersavesleep 100
        wepmode MIXED weptxkey 4
        wepkey 4:128-bit

If anyone have an idea I'd love to hear it, it's beginning to bug me
quite a bit ;-)

Regards
 -Morten
