I personally have a dell True Mobile, the card is well detected by the 
kernel, but network softwares at boot have some problems since dhclient 
fails...
Once the system is up, I've had to start dhclient by hand... I ve done 
that many times but It seems Ive forgotten to put ' dhclient_flags="wi0" 
' in my etc/rc.conf.
If you have more than one interface to run dhclient from you can add it 
: dhclient_flags="ne0 wi0"
Thats what I've done.
I think this will be ok, but I have not tested it since I dont have the 
wireless card for the moment to test it... ;-)


Your problem looks to be the same, isn't it ?
