Hello all,

I have FreeBSD 6.2 on a TP R40 with the Intel 2100 802.11b wireless minicard. I am using the ipw driver with 
firmware. I can bring the ipw0 up with "ifconfig ipw0 up", "ifcontrol ipw0 list scan", and "ipwcontrol -i ipw0 -
f /boot/firmware/ipw-1.fw". I am not quite sure how to connect to an Open AP at the library. I would like to 
know how to configure one of the following:
1.  Configure the Function Key (FK)to turn on and off the wireless radio.
2.  Find an easier way to bring up the interface, associate to an AP, and pull a DHCP IP address.
3.  How to configure the firewall for added protection.
4.  Is there a package or port that I can install that will automate the process.

Thanks,

Cecil
