Greetings

I have just upgraded a laptop on my network to current:

[root_at_hp] ~# uname -a
FreeBSD hp.shasta204.local 8.0-BETA2 FreeBSD 8.0-BETA2 #1: Fri Aug  7
11:15:24 PDT 2009     root_at_vaio.shasta204.local:/usr/ob
j/usr/src/sys/VESA  i386

I have made the changes in rc.conf after reading UPDATING and rc.conf
defaults. Here is the bits from rc.conf

wlans_wi0=wlan0   # I have tried with quotes around wlan0 with 
                  # no difference. 
ifconfig_wlan0="DHCP ssid MY_SSID channel any wepmode on \
deftxkey 1 wepkey 0xSecretNumber78bf" 

# ifconfig_re0="DHCP"

My wlan0 interface comes up but never retrieves an IP from the router. 

[root_at_hp] ~# ifconfig -a

Searching dmesg I see this

The PCMCIA is and older Netgear 802.11b that was working fine on 7
stable. I have searched the archives and tried changing things in
rc.conf but I can not seem to make this work.


Any help or direction will be greatly appreciated.
