Try adding; ifconfig_wi0="DHCP" to /etc/rc.conf. That way it will run dhclient automatically whenever you plug the card in. I don't have a problem running dhclient, I have a problem with WPA. Initially, my rc.conf said: ifconfig_wi0="WPA DHCP" and I had the correct entry in my /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf. I could not connect to my WAP until I turned off WPA, as I stated in my OP. Doug: Sorry, I misunderstood. Please excuse the noise...
