I did follow the instruction on 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/wireless.html
but it does not work. 

Would you please help me?

I have  2 Wireless PCI card. One is on FreeBSD 4.6 and one is on WinXP
Pro.

I try to connect from WindowsXP Client but It cannot connect in the
Infrastructure configuration.

On WinXP,
It is linked and associated in Ad-Hoc mode.

[Ad-Hoc mode]
Status: Associated - BSS ID = 00:90:D1:08:5A:F7



But in Infrastructure, it keeps scanning and not linked.

[infrastructure mode]
Status: Scanning



What do I miss?
Thank you.
