Problem with wireless card drivers

[doug]

In 6.1 you do not need to recompile the kernel. You can load the drivers. 
kldstat will tell you what you have loaded. check 'man if_ndis' and/or the 
handbook for configuration setting, chipsets, etc.

you can just do:

   cd /boot/kernel
   kldload wlan.ko
   kldload if_ndis.ko

You may need the wep dirver if you are using encryption. After all that works, 
you can load by adding to /boot/loader.conf:

   if_ndis_load="YES"
   wlan_load="YES"

This is just a guide. I have a thinkpad so I am not sure if the above is 
complete. In addition to the handbook and the man pages, you can find a lot of 
information via Google.

Hope this helps.
