Hello All,

I am having a little trouble getting my WiFi card to work properly. 

--Card - Netgear WGS511T
-- I am running FreeBSD 6.0-CURRENT #0: Fri Jan 21 16:03:10 CST 2005 .
-- The latest port of wpa_supplicant.

My kernel has the following necessary lines:
# Wireless NIC cards
device          wlan            # 802.11 support
device          ath
device          ath_hal
device          ath_rate_onoe

Below is the process I am using:
-- Boot machine
-- kldload wlan_tkip
-- Put card in PCMCIA slot and I get the message saying that it sees the card.
-- do a ifconfig ath0 up
-- wpa_supplicant -iath0 -c /usr/local/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

Below is some of the output I get:
=========================

=============================

I keep getting the same thing over and over. I'm assuming it's working
since if I go to a terminal window and do a ifconfig, I get:

==================
ath0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet6 fe80::209:5bff:fec8:2255%ath0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4

        txpowmax 43 protmode CTS roaming MANUAL bintval 100

==================

BUT when I try and do a:

ifconfig ath0 inet 192.168.1.40 netmask 255.255.255.0

The address appears under the ifconfig, but I cannot go anywhere. I
can ping the local interface, but nothing outside of it.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for any help/guidance.
