    Hi,

    I have an SMC PCMCIA wireless adapter, model SMCWCB-G, based on an
    Atheros 5212 chipset, in a laptop running a fresh install of FreeBSD
    6.0-RC1.

    The card associates fine, but then fails to send any IP packets in the
    air, or at least that's what I presume is going on. I cannot ping the
    AP, I cannot get a lease using DHCP, basically the only thing I can do
    is associate. I think it does associate because when I set an invalid
    wep key, the status changes back to 'no carrier'. Setting a static IP
    address does not help.

    Any hints on where I might go from here to debug this? I know the
    setup should work because in a previous life [1] it Worked With
    Windows[TM] (and on the same AP).

    Thanks,

    --Stijn
