I just installed FreeBSD-CURRENT (cvsupped today) on my Acer Travelmate 
800XCi (had to upgrade from 4.9 since 5.* CDs won't boot).

I have gotten the Project Evil Drivers to work with the Intel 2100 wlan 
card in the laptop. I'm not sure how to PROPERLY enable this card on 
bootup.   I say PROPERLY because I have it working, but I don't know if 
I've made it way more difficult than it needs to be. I'm new to CURRENT 
and to running FREEBSD on a laptop.

What I've done:

/boot/loader.conf:
ndis_load="YES"
if_ndis_load="YES"

/etc/rc.conf:
ifconfig_ndis0="DHCP"

/etc/dhclient.conf
interface "ndis0" {
	media "ssid MySSID"
}

Is this correct? Is there a different way that this should be done?

Thanks
