After updating to the latest -STABLE as of 3/6/2002, wi refused to work
anymore.  I updated my kernel as of 4:30PM PST today since wi_if.c was
changed.  Still, no good.  Relevant networking details on my system:

FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE #0: Sat Mar 16 16:32:51 PST 2002

wi0: <PRISM2STA PCI WaveLAN/IEEE 802.11> port
0xdc00-0xdc3f,0xd800-0xd87f mem 0xde000000-0xde000fff irq 10 at device
10.0 on pci0
wi0: 802.11 address: 00:90:d1:07:3b:61
wi0: using RF:PRISM2 MAC:HFA3841 CARD:HWB3163 rev.A, Firmware: 0.7
variant 6
rl0: <RealTek 8139 10/100BaseTX> port 0xe000-0xe0ff mem
0xde001000-0xde0010ff irq 11 at device 12.0 on pci0
rl0: Ethernet address: 00:30:1b:07:63:76
miibus0: <MII bus> on rl0
rlphy0: <RealTek internal media interface> on miibus0
rlphy0:  10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto

I read where others have had to do a "ifconfig fxp0 down" first before
they can bring their wi devices up, but "ifconfig rl0 down" didn't work
for me.  When I try to invoke dhclient on wi0, I immediately get this:

ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCDIFADDR): Can't assign requested address

...and it never does communicate with the DHCP server.  All the
wicontrol details appear to be correct.

How can I help debug this?
