Hello,

I am testing NetBSD 2.0_RC4 on my Intel laptop (Amilo) and the sis900 
based  nic is working fine.
For my mobility, I' m using a wireless pcmcia card which ihooks up 
coorectly but doesn't get an ip from my AP (dhclient wi0).
Static-ip will even not let me ping my AP (ifconfig wi0 status: No network).
wiconfig wi0 -D says:
    ... scanning
    No APs available    ( I don't see any activity on my wireless card 
when scanning ???)

Could anybody help me on this issue.

Thanks

Here under, the output of my ifconfig wi0 and wiconfig wi0
