I have put these entries into /etc/rc.conf: wlans_iwi0="wlan0" ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP" when I booted up I could see from the wireless "beacon" indicator that something was happening. But I kept getting this message: iwi0: need multicast update callback And when I tried to do a ping I got the dreaded...ping: cannot resolve yahoo.com: Host name lookup failure...and then all of sudden it started working and I was able to successfully ping, and connect. Is this voodoo :-) ? ---Rem
