Okay, so here goes:
SYNOPSIS
Wireless network gets detected, but has "no carrier". So I can't connect.
PROMPT
All prompts are indicated as $ to avoid confusion with #-comment lines, but
in reality most things are done by root.
THE NETWORK
SSID: SpeedTouch1EC5E8
radio type: 11g
security type: WPA2-PSK
PSK: known
Station: Thomson ST 780 WL Wireless modem
Signal: present (Windows picks it up right away) and generally excellent
THE COMPUTER
Thoshiba Satellite P200 1A4 notebook
Wireless card: Intel 3945ABG
OS: FreeBSD 7.0-RC3
KERNEL
The driver for the Intel 3945ABG card is wpi.
As instructed by its manpage, my /boot/loader.conf reads:
$ cat /boot/loader.conf
if_wpi_load="YES"
wlan_load="YES"
wlan_amrr_load="YES"
firmware_load="YES"
wpifw_load="YES"
wlan_xauth_load="YES"
legal.intel_wpi.license_ack=1
$
Relevant dmesg greps:
$ dmesg|grep wpi
wpi0: <Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG> mem 0xd8000000-0xd8000fff irq 17 at
device 0.0 on pci4

wpi0: [ITHREAD]
wpi0: 11a rates: 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps
wpi0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps
wpi0: 11g rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps
24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps
$ dmesg|grep wlan
$ dmesg|grep firmware
$
CONFIGURATION
My /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf:
$ cat /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
#eapol_version=2
network={
ssid="SpeedTouch1EC5E8"
psk="********" (the correct preshared key, that is)
# bssid=00:90:d0:f3:e1:d2
mode=0
proto=WPA RSN
# key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
# pairwise=CCMP
# group=CCMP
scan_ssid=1
}

As you can see, there's still no carrier, so

If there's anything else you need to know, just holler.
