I am trying to get my Compaq wireless LAN card for my N410C working.

I've looked at:

http://www.samag.com/documents/s=7121/sam0205a/sam0205a.htm

Given that information, I've added the apropriate itmes to my kernle (It's
a device awi Prisim chipset, right?).

Now when I boot the machine I get the following in dmesg:

ugen0: Compaq Computers Compaq WLAN MultiPort W200, rev 1.10/0.00, addr 2
and if config looks like this:

fxp0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 205.159.77.8 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 205.159.77.255
		ether 00:d0:59:c6:41:bf media: Ethernet autoselect (10baseT/UTP)
		status: active lp0: flags=8810<POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST>
		mtu 1500 
faith0: flags=8003<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
	inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 ppp0: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST>
	mtu 1500 
sl0: flags=c010<POINTOPOINT,LINK2,MULTICAST> mtu 552

So it's the faith0 device, right?
But when I run:

brown2# wicontrol -f 7
wicontrol: SIOCSWAVELAN: Device not configured

So, what steps have I left out? Or am I confused?
