Look at the output of dmesg after booting.
You might also try starting it partially by hand. This is how I do it
(with linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1-pre16):
/sbin/wland
/etc/rc.d/init.d/wlan start
/usr/sbin/dhcpcd -t 30 -N -Y wlan0
(You might want to do an ifconfig wlan0 $SOME_IP instead of starting
dhcpcd if you have a static IP address.)
Note that the script installed as /etc/rc.d/init.d/wlan doesn't start
wland. I had to do this myself before running .../wlan start
