wi0 has status "no carrier"

I am trying to configure a Lucent Technologies Orinoco card to access 
a WAP (Linksys WAP54G).  Everything I've tried results in "status: no 
carrier".  I don't know why.  I have tried two different wireless 
cards in two different boxes and both have the same problem.

To keep things simple, the WAP configuration is:

Mode:           Mixed (as opposed to "G Only")
SSID Broadcast: Enabled
SSID:           linksys
Channel:        10
WEP:            Disabled


The WAP is operating in "Access Point" mode as opposed to "Wireless 
Bridge" mode and is not filtering by MAC address.  

On my laptop, I have this:

# ifconfig wi0 inet 192.168.0.34 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid test

# ifconfig wi0
wi0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 192.168.0.34 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255
        inet6 fe80::202:2dff:fe0e:5204%wi0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x6
        ether 00:02:2d:0e:23:12
        media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (DS/2Mbps)
        status: no carrier
        ssid test 1:test
        stationname "FreeBSD WaveLAN/IEEE node"
        channel 10 authmode OPEN powersavemode OFF powersavesleep 100
        wepmode OFF weptxkey 1

FWIW, the above is a laptop running FreeBSD 4.8-PRERELEASE dated Feb 
24 2003.
