Looks good.
When it hooks up with an AP it should add something like this::
bssid 00:0c:41:51:2b:f6 chan 1

Hmm, do you use WEP? If you do you need to tell wi which key to use.
This may not work though - some people reported problems with WEP. ( I
don't use it - my AP filters solely by MAC address ) This would be
ifconfig wi0 nwkey "xxxxx"

mknod -l should tell you:
wd character major 26 block major 12
on -current you can just use
