Problems with WPC11 wirelss card on FreeBSD 4.10

[Davis Doherty]

I just put a fresh install of FreeBSD 4.10 from CD on my Presario 1610
laptop (ancient!), and I'm trying to get a Linksys WPC11 wireless card
working with my home network.

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?
