>Description:
I installed the FreeBSD 9.0-Beta2 using the new installer.  I have a urtw 
wireless usb adapter and the installer correctly identified it and identified 
my home network.  However, after the installation I was unable to connect to my 
network, and I found that it was caused by the fact that the line in 
/etc/rc.conf for DHCP was as follows:

ifconfig_wlan0="WPADHCP"

there should be a space between WPA and DHCP, and I fixed the problem by 
changing the line to this:

ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP"

>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
The installer needs to put a space between WPA and DHCP in the following line 
in /etc/rc.conf:

ifconfig_wlan0="WPADHCP"
