Wireless Network Not Found

[Thomas D. Dean]

I have an HP dv6000 series notebook with a wireless network device
which worked under windows.  The notebook had windows when I obtained
it.  I installed FreeBSD 6.2 and upgraded to -stable.

I cannot configure the wireless network or do anything with it.  This
may be between my ears or it may be a problem in configuration.

The kernel is compiled from sys/i386/conf/SMP, with no changes.

How do I interact with this device?  What else should I look at?

# uname -a
FreeBSD dv6000.tddhome 6.2-STABLE FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE #0: \
    Sat Aug 25 15:34:55 PDT 2007 \
    root at dv6000.tddhome:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SMP  i386

After boot -v, I see

# desg | grep -i ath
ath_rate: version 1.2 <SampleRate bit-rate selection algorithm>
ath_hal: 0.9.20.3 (AR5210, AR5211, AR5212, RF5111, RF5112, RF2413, RF5413)
