Where might I get newer firmware for this card?  I didn't see any for
this specific model on dlink's website, and I wasn't sure if firmware
from elsewhere would hose my card.

Ah, thank you very much.  I was using the default ssid of 'FreeBSD
IBSS' for testing, which apparently doesn't work.  Sorry for being
unclear about what exactly I was doing, I'll be sure to give full
commands next time I'm asking RTFM questions =)

You sure did.  I feel pretty foolish for struggling with this for the
past couple of days when a simple `man wi` would have given me the
answer.

I do still have one odd problem: I'm getting this message a lot on my
console: "XXX: host encrypt not implemented for 802.3".  The error
message does not seem to coincide with network traffic.  This is how
I'm setting up the hostap now:

kldload if_wi
kldload bridge
sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding=1
sysctl net.link.ether.bridge_cfg="wi0 fxp0"
sysctl net.link.ether.bridge=1
ifconfig wi0 inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00 ssid foo stationname bar wepkey 0x01234567890123456789012345 wepmode on powersave channel 10 mediaopt hostap

Thanks again,
