    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,
