I have purchased a DWL-660 (seeing it worked in FreeBSD for othe rpeople
and uses prism2, which I find out now that they changed it in newer
revisions *sigh*)

I cannot get a connection to my AP. dstumbler can pick it up and check
the signal strength no problems.

> ifconfig wi0 up ssid HOME channel 6

Gives me:

wi0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
