| Hi,
|    
|   I am trying to configure Cisco Aironet 350 wireless PCI card but I 
| get an error which I am unable to find much details for that. Following 
| is description of ifconfing:
|    
|   > ifconfig an0 
|   an0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

|   As you can see the wireless card is detected and status is "associated' 
| but my wireless connection doesn't work. I cannot even ping the router. 
|    
|   Can you please help me configure wireless connection with my router.
|    
|   Also, here are more details:
|    
|   WEP on, encryption is 128 bits, BSD 6.0, PCI card is Cisco Aironet 350, 
| AMD athalon.


Is this mini-PCI.  If so down-rev the firmware.  I got it working better
with newer version of mini-PCI but ran into problem in which checking
on status while sending data could wedge the card.  Doing a kldunload/kldload
fixes it but my reset attempts methods didn't :-(  I also have the
HW MIC support added but not the SW bits.  I been derailed on too many
other FreeBSD problems to make much progress.  I have lots of things
that need polish before they can be commited but don't have the time to
do that :-(  The biggest thing is an OpenIPMI compatable IPMI driver
so ipmitool etc. can talk via the motherboard interface.
