Wireless Problems

[Darryl Barlow]

I have installed FreeBSD on a Desktop Machine with a
TI 1410 PCI Cardbus 
Bridge and an Avaya Silver Wireless Network Card.  The
card connects 
perfectly to a D-Link Access Point in Debian and even
in Windows XP.  
However, in FreeBSD there is "no carrier" no matter
what I seem to try.

Troubleshooting help would be much appreciated.

Device seems to come up with:

ifconfig wi0 inet 192.168.4.8 netmask 255.255.255.0
ssid HOME wepmode ON 
wepkey 1234567890
