Hi

 I'm having a problem trying to setup the above box with the above wireless
card to my home network.  I have a Dlink DL-624+ wireless router which has
two wired WINXP boxes and a wireless WINXP laptop connected to it all of
which work seemlessly.  The wireless card on the freeBSD box can detect the
router when I scan for access points and I can associate the wireless router
with the freebsd box however I cant get an IP address from the wirless
router using the DHCP server of the router.  I know the wireless router can
detect the freebsd box because I can see the mac address on the wireless
card in the router log.  If I run dhclient ral0 and it trys to find the
server without success.

I have all the settings on the wireless card entered, wepkey, station,
channel etc. 

Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong?

Thanks
Keith
