Wireless Problems

Sorry to post about a problem with a desktop machine
but I may have more luck here given the problem is a
cardbus one.  I have installed FreeBSD on a Desktop
Machine with a TI 1410 PCI Cardbus Bridge and an Avaya
Silver Wireless Network Card.

The card connects perfectly to a D-Link Access Point
in Debian and even in Windows XP.  However, in FreeBSD
there is "no carrier" no matter what I seem to try.
Troubleshooting help would be much appreciated.
 
 Device seems to come up with:
 
 ifconfig wi0 inet 192.168.4.8 netmask 255.255.255.0
 ssid HOME wepmode ON 
 wepkey 1234567890
 
 
 dmesg is as follows:
