Re: netgear wg311 v2 and configuration

I had no problem giving it an ssid. I did however find that some things 
worked better after fresh after a restart. That is I put the appropriate 
command in /etc/start_if.ndis0 (which gets run automatically) and 
ifconfig_ndis0="DHCP" in /etc/rc.conf. When I restarted, it seemed to me 
that it picked up things it had ignored previously. Of course, you'll need 
to autoload the firmware then as well.
Cheers,
