I´ve edited two files. First one is “/etc/conf.d/net.wlan0”
——————————-CODE———————————-
modules=(“wpa_supplicant”)
wpa_supplicant_wlan0=”-Dwext”

1. Dynamic Network configuration

config_wlan0=( “dhcpcd” )

1. Static Network configuration
2. Replace SSID with name of your SSID
3. config_SSID=( “192.168.1.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 # broadcast 192.168.1.255” );
4. routes_SSID=( “default via 192.168.1.1” )
5. dns_servers_SSID=( “192.168.1.1” )
6. gateways_SSID=( “192.168.1.1” )

——————————-CODE———————————-

And second file is “/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf” after installing “wpa_supplicant”

——————————-CODE———————————-
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant

1. You must be a member of wheel

ctrl_interface_group=wheel #
update_config=0
fast_reauth=1
ap_scan=1

network={ ssid=“YourSSID” psk=“YourVeryVerySecureKey” pairwise=TKIP group=TKIP priority=5
}

network={ key_mgmt=NONE priority=-9999999
}

With these settings I can run both WPA I+II, eather with static network, or over dhcp. ;-)
