Within my kernel I have: device wlan device an device awi device ral device wi It might be a silly question - but have you installed the new kernel? If you have compiled and installed the kernel with support for the device you shouldn't need to load any modules for it. My kldstat shows: Id Refs Address Size Name 1 13 0xc0400000 55e1d8 kernel 2 1 0xc095f000 91f0 bridge.ko 3 1 0xc0969000 2d90 wlan_wep.ko 4 1 0xc096c000 41c4 wlan_tkip.ko 5 1 0xc0971000 6fe4 wlan_ccmp.ko 6 1 0xc0978000 1bac wlan_xauth.ko 7 1 0xc097a000 2ef4 wlan_acl.ko 8 1 0xc2655000 b000 ntfs.ko Although I've never got it working properly with wpa/tkip and have recently replaced it with a linksys wrt54g.
