The wireless card uses the Prism 2 chipset, and was recognized when I plugged it in. I did 'wicontrol -n "my network SSID"' and 'wicontrol -p 1'. I then tried to set up the card via DHCP in /stand/sysinstall, and failed, so I set the network information manually. However, ifconfig -a still showed "status: no carrier." So I tried 'wicontrol -r 2432' thinking that I might need to have the RTS set to agree with my wireless AP, but still no luck. Except for a brief moment of connectivity, I remain unable to connect. All this took place about 5 feet from the AP, which is not using WEP, so signal should not be an issue. Is there something I'm missing in my setup here? -Davis
