help with configuring Linksys wireless card

[chessguy64]

model is LINKSYS WMP54G v4. apparently uses ral0 driver. I'm running FreeBSD 13.1-Release-P3.
(says its supported)

# sysctl -n net.wlan.devices
ral0

however ifconfig only shows my Ethernet wired in card.

from /boot/loader.conf:

hw.vga.textmode=1
ums_load="YES"
if_run_load="YES"
runfw_load="YES"
if_ral_load="YES"

from /etc/rc.conf:

wlans_run0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP"
hostname="my host"
ifconfig_re0="DHCP"
sshd_enable="YES"
# Set dumpdev to "AUTO" to enable crash dumps, "NO" to disable
dumpdev="AUTO"
kld_list="nvidia-modeset"
moused_type="NO"
moused_enable="NO"

Not sure what I'm doing wrong here. The "Act" Light isn't green, but I'm pretty sure the PCI Slot isn't bad. Unless there is something I did wrong in the software config? Thanks.

Yes lol. I think this was one of the first things I changed, and going through the handbook it's now connecting to my SSID wirelessly.

Thanks.
