I have a netgear WG511t wireless card on a dell
inspiron 1550.  I am using the current freebsd
release.
When inserted on boot-up the card dose not get
recognized.  I do have 
the ath and ath_hal in my kernel.  
On first insertion after boot up a message comes back:
cbb0: CardBus card activation failed
When reinserted the second time I get the following:
ath0: <Atheros 5212> mem 0xf6010000-0xf601ffff irq 16
at device 0.0 on cardbus0
ath0: mac 5.6 phy 4.1 5ghz radio 4.6
ath0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps
ath0: 11g rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps 6Mbps
9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36M
bps 48Mbps 54Mbps
ath0: 802.11 address: 00:09:5b:95:16:fa

I then run ifconfig:
ifconfig ath0 ssid <insertname> wepmode on wepkey
0x<26char wep key here>

then again with the following output:
ath0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        ether 00:09:5b:95:16:fa
        media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet
autoselect
        status: no carrier
        ssid MCNET2002 1:MCNET2002
        channel -1 authmode OPEN powersavemode OFF
powersavesleep 100
        wepmode MIXED weptxkey 1
        wepkey 1:104-bit

from there I've got nothing. can not ping, no ip.  Is
there something I am missing.
