It's better than nothing, but WEP wouldn't stop a serious
wardriver
these days.

You could add something like this to your
/etc/dhclient.conf:

interface "wi0" {
        media   "ssid <SSID> wepmode on wepkey
<WEPKEY>";
}

Which version of FBSD are you on? On 5.X you can add options
to the 
dchlient.conf as described in the previous mail.
Alternatively you can 
(IIRC) add options in rc.conf:

   ifconfig_wi0="ssid <SSID> wepmode on wepkey
<WEPKEY> DHCP"

This has the unfortunate effect that you can only configure
for one network.

On 6.0 the old dhclient has been replaced by OpenBSD's
dhclient and 
wpa_supplicant. In that case, including options in
dhclient.conf won't work.

Instead you configure the wireless networks you know in
wpa_supplicant.conf

Cheers, Erik
