Yes, I did also post to freebsd-questions about a different thing.  I try
to keep my specialized questions to their respective lists.  Sorry about
not giving more detail about the card, I wasn't sure how to get the info
you needed.  Anyway, I did the 'pciconf -lv' and the output is below.  It
would be cool if I could stop using the ndis driver if it's possible.

Thanks
