OK...here's what is happening now.  I have put these entries into 
/etc/rc.conf:

wlans_iwi0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP"

when I booted up I could see from the wireless "beacon" indicator that 
something was happening.  But I kept getting this message:

iwi0: need multicast update callback

And when I tried to do a ping I got the dreaded...ping: cannot resolve 
yahoo.com: Host name lookup failure...and then all of sudden it started 
working and I was able to successfully ping, and connect.  Is this 
voodoo :-) ?
