I've got a home network setup with a wireless d-linik access point which 
works fine.
I've also got DHCP setup with it.

The Oronico card works fine with Windows2000 Professional which is the 
dual boot on
my laptop.

In my kernel, I've added
device pcic0 at isa?
device pcic1 at isa?
device card
device wi

during boot up, the card gets probed and the mac address is correct.
I also get the pccardd started inserted and started messages with the 
WaveLAN/IEEE

however, I get no ip address to go with it.

I tried adding one manually although my ifconfig knowledge is definetely 
lacking.
ifconfig wi0 192.168.1.100 192.168.1.1

after that my netstat -r shows
loopback device ok
192.168.1 linke#2 UC 0 0 wi0
which is close but not quite correct.

What do I have to do to get the DHCP working with the card... me thinks 
I need to add something to my /etc/rc.conf but I don't know what.

 From looking on the mailing list, I don't see people having much sucess 
with this card.
Although, I did see someone post that something in the if_wi driver was 
fixed around April 1 or May 1 2002 in current, release, and stable 
versions of FreeBSD.


The laptop is running FBSD4.5 as it was on the CD's that shipped.

I am extremely grateful for all your help and time.


Thanks in advance,
