I've got the same (or very similar) card, and I've had no luck getting
it going. This message;

    http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2004-March/023301.html

helped me a little. It detected the card fine for me, but crashes later
on. I'm not sure things progressed from there.

Cheers,
Tim.
