I can't help much, but I know it does work:
wi0: <Dell TrueMobile 1150 Series PC Card> at port 0x100-0x13f irq 11
function 0 config 1 on pccard1
wi0: 802.11 address: 00:02:2d:7c:4a:99
wi0: using Lucent Embedded WaveLAN/IEEE
wi0: Lucent Firmware: Station (8.10.1)
wi0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps

It worked for me with no extra configuration necessary, that was on a
-current laptop, I can't send any more info now as I've moved to an ath
a/b/g mini pci card which is also working fine
