Configuring IP for USB network device

I am undoubtedly doing something very wrong here. I downloaded a driver
for a Ralink2870 chip and installed it. Seems to work fine.
I placed this in my '/etc/rc.conf' file:
### Wireless ###
wlans_rt28700="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="DHCP WPA"
This was all ready there:
ifconfig_nfe0="DHCP"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
From the /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file:
# allow frontend (e.g., wpa_cli) to be used by all users in 'wheel'
group
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
# # home network; allow all valid ciphers
network={
ssid="MyNET"
#psk="SECRET"
psk=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
}
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, when I insert the USB Network adapter and run "ifconfig", this is
the output:
fwe0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500

I cannot figure out why or how it is getting the address: 208.68.139.38
It should be using 192.168.1.104 or something in that range.
