Do you really want to assign IP 192.168.1.1 to the kFreeBSD host? Most
commonly that would be the IP of the wireless router, so a client would
192.168.1.2 instead, for example. Or see the last paragraph of this
mail about DHCP...
It is recommended to specify WEP passphrases in hexadecimal form.
Instead of 'wepkey maximoemelo06' perhaps try 'wepkey
0x6d6178696d6f656d656c6f3036'.
You must bring the interface 'up' at this point with `ifconfig wlan0 up`
and look at the output of `ifconfig wlan0`.

WEP should not need to use wpa_supplicant (though it may still work).

IIRC those are harmless and it should still work...

It did see and associate with the access point, at least.
You could try to ping your router's IP address at that point. If it
fails, take a look at the output of `ifconfig wlan0`.
You won't have a working Internet connection until a default route is
configured, and suitable DNS server addresses in /etc/resolv.conf. Most
often this is all done automatically with DHCP instead:
# dhclient -v wlan0
