I would like to raise the concerns voiced in the doc-bug http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=86532&cat= again. Somehow the discussion on WEP settings on wpa_supplicant.conf man page is still missing.

To submitter: I'm afraid I don't follow.  There is a section in the 
wpa_supplicant.conf man page on how to configure using WEP keys, it is 
the last example in the EXAMPLES section of the man page: 

|     Traditional WEP configuration with 104 bit key specified in hexadecimal. 
|     Note the WEP key is not quoted. 
| 
|     ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant 
|     ctrl_interface_group=wheel 
|     network={ 
|             ssid="example" 
|             scan_ssid=1 
|             key_mgmt=NONE 
|             wep_tx_keyidx=0 
|             wep_key0=42FEEDDEAFBABEDEAFBEEFAA55 
|     } 

This was present in both FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE and 7.0-RELEASE, and 
has been there since.  Perhaps you have somehow failed to update your 
system fully?

Feedback timeout (2 months), as far as I can tell this is already resolved.
