I have 2 wireless cards, Linksys WPC55AG (atheros) and D-Link DWL-650
rev.M(Realtek 8180). Both cards work fine, I can connect to my home
network under
FreeBSD, Arch Linux and Gentoo Linux with both cards. Atheros natively under
FreeBSD and Realtek using ndis because FreeBSD doesn't have native drivers
for the realtek.

I have asked in the IRC channel, and read man pages, tried many things which
seem to work for others, to no avail. Normally I just use dhcp.

Example using ath0:

ifconfig ath0 nwid linksys_SES
dhclient ath0

The above works fine under FreeBSD, I can't figure out why it doesn't work
here. I have also tried specifying static IP on the cards, which also
doesn't connect, trying to ping my wireless router, set as the default
gateway (192.168.1.1) just returns Host is down.

Any new suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Some of the pages I have found which haven't helped my problem:
