EZ Connect SMC 802.11B Card?

Running 5.2-RC, on a Dell Inspiron 5000, I've got a 3Com Cardbus 10/100 that works just fine, however, when I try my EZ Connect SMC Networks card, I get:

cardbus0: Expecting link target, got 0x0
cardbus0: Resource not specified in CIS: id=10, size=100
cardbus0: Resource not specified in CIS: id=14, size=400
cardbus0: <network> at device 0.0 (no driver attached)
cbb0: CardBus card activation failed

I have wlan,an,awi,wi,wl (basically all of the Wireless NIC cards section from GENERIC) compiled in.

Any suggestions?  Some Googling seems to show that the card might -not- be supported yet, it seems to be based on the ADM8211 chipset, and further googling shows that ADMtek does provide both a Linux driver, and source code. (http://www.admtek.com.tw/download/ADM8211.htm) Has anyone ported this to FreeBSD?

I would give it a try, however I will admit that porting this is far above my skill level.

Suggestions?  Thanks in advance,
