Hi,

whe I posted this problem to comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc it was suggested
to me I should report it to this e-mail addres. I can't yet use send-pr,
which was suggtested too, as my FreeBSD installation is not finished yet.

This is the "oddity" I noticed:

During installation of FreeBSD 5.0RC1 at some point I was asked if I
wanted to configure a network interface, and was proposed to use "wi0"
which is the wireless lan card. I choose that and was then asked if I
want to use DHCP which I agreed to.

Problem: After that question the install programm immediatly tries to
contact the DHCP server, which cannot work, as informations like the WEP
key to use etc. were asked for/supplied so that the wireless card could
be properly set up to communicate.

I hope this information can help you, and apologize for not having been
able to submit a proper report using send-pr.
