Working Cisco 350 Mini PCI card

[Alexei Yakimovich]

I have this card working under Fedora Core 3 with latest firmware (5.60).
I guess FreeBSD driver's developer might use Cisco Linux (aero) driver
(http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/aironet-utils-linux) to solve
this problem.

Regards,
Alexei
