wireless device: linksys wusb54g2 USB

running:

 6.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE #0: Sun May  7 04:32:43 UTC 2006
root@opus.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386

dmesg output for wireless related devices:

inphy0: <i82562ET 10/100 media interface> on miibus0
inphy0:  10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto

in /etc/rc.d:

if_ipw_load="YES"
if_ndis_load="YES"

(don't think I need the ndis_load but i've tried booting without strictly
ipw_load to no avail).

I can't seem to ifconfig the logical device (it won't find it).

I've googled around but can't seem to place my finger on this.  I've used
ndis_wrapper before and installed easily- even a much more obscure wireless
device---

I can't seem to even establish the name of the logical interface-  ...ath?

can anyone assist please?  i'm sure its simple but..well I don't know it :)


Thanks!
