DLink DWA-510 on FreeBSD 8 (Release) - problem

Hi,
I have the following problem. I used to have FreeBSD 7.2 and my DLink DWA-510 card worked pretty well. Now I updated my system to FreeBSD 8.0 (Release) and can't connect to my office WiFi network: ifconfig writes 'no carrier' message even after several attempts.
I tried the following configuration (the device has been picked up by 'ral' driver):

/boot/loader.conf
Code:
if_ral_load="YES"

/etc/rc.conf
Code:
wlans_ral0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="dhcp ssid horus authmode wpa"

My access point (the one I am trying connect to) has the following configuration:
  • model: dwl-2100ap
  • ssid_name: horus
  • auth: wpa2_psk
  • chipher: tkip
  • modes: auto_chan_scan

Even if I try to connect manually, the connection fails and I get "no carrier" message. Windows XP from the same machine connects succefully.

Manually I do the following:
  1. wpa_passphrase horus qwerty1 > /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
  2. kldload wlan_xauth
  3. ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ral0
  4. ifconfig wlan0 ssid horus
  5. wpa_supplicant -Dbsd -iwlan0 -B -c\etc\wpa_supplicant.conf
  6. dhclient wlan0
No luck... "no carrier" message from ifconfig and dhclient fails.
What is wrong?

Thank you.
