I can't believe how incredibly easy it was to get
the wireless going in my laptop.

add:  if_ath_load="YES"   to /boot/loader.conf

and:   ifconfig_ath0="dhcp"   to /etc/rc.conf

and it "works" !

please tell me where I can read up on how to "control" the
wireless link. Such as how to enter the "SSID", and connect
speed etc.

Thanks!
Jim
