wireless card config problem

[andy at neu.net]

I am trying to setup a wireless AP/gateway on FBSD 5.3 Rlease.  The
machine is an IBM Thinkpad A20m.    After
consulting the wi manpage I bought a  DLINK DWL-650.  When I insert the
card I get the following message:

wi0: <D-Link DWL-650 Wireless PC Card RevP> at port 0x200-0x27f irq 11
function 0 config 1 on pccard0
wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear.
: init failed
device_attach: wi0 attach returned 6

I searched Google and it seems there is a patch, but I did not see any
confirmation that the patch fixed the problem.  I did not try the patch to
see if it works.  I want something that works with a generic install.

So I tried another card to see if that would work, I bought a Linksys
WPC11 ver.4 (it is also on the list from man wi).  However, this did not
work either, and this is the message when the card is inserted:

cardbus0: <network, ethernet> at device 0.0 (no driver attached)
cbb0: CardBus card activation failed

I did not try to rebuild the kernel, as support is included in the GENERIC
config file.  Here are the relevent parts of the Kernel config file.

# PCCARD (PCMCIA) support
# PCMCIA and cardbus bridge support
device		cbb		# cardbus (yenta) bridge
device		pccard		# PC Card (16-bit) bus
device		cardbus		# CardBus (32-bit) bus

# Wireless NIC cards
device		wlan		# 802.11 support
device		an		# Aironet 4500/4800 802.11 wireless NICs.
device		awi		# BayStack 660 and others
device		wi		# WaveLAN/Intersil/Symbol 802.11 wireless

I would really appreciate feedback on the following:

1. How to configure one of the cards I have, and or documentation (I have
read all the documentation I could find)

2. A suggestion for a wireless card that is known to work in BSS mode
(Acess Point mode) to use as a base station.

TIA,

Andy
