'wicontrol -i ath0 -l' shows the correct wireless nets in the immediate=20 area. =A0'ifconfig' shows correct info. =A0My entire dmesg is appended to=20 the bottom of this message. The card behaves the same on both my dell 5100 and my dell 1100. =A0 Thought maybe it was a bad card so I returned it and picked up another=20 (same make and model)... but it behaves exactly the same. =A0Its a Blitzz=20 BWP 712 Super G (Atheros 5212)... wal-mart special. =A0It behaves as=20 described wether its inserted before I boot... or after it boots and=20 I'm logged in. I have =A0 device ath =A0 device ath_hal =A0 device wlan I have a dhclient.conf with something to the effect of: =A0 media "ssid wLAN_SSID channel 1 weptxkey 1 wepmode on wepkey=20 0x35CE7F608436C02D11583BDB7F3"; Other (maybe unimportant) things: ACPI is on... APM is off. #option SMP AGP is on DRM is on Tried disabling PC Card support and just leaving Cardbus support... no=20 go. =A0I suspect I have something misconfigured with respect to the=20 pcmcia slot... but that's just a guess. Any/All help is appreciated. =2D-=20 Regards, Eric dmesg follows: =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Copyright (c) 1992-2004 The FreeBSD Project.
