7.0 BETA1 and Thinkpad T61p : Wireless misadventure

[Luis Neves]

Hi all.
So far I've failed to have a working wireless connection with this combination.

There are no FreeBSD drivers for the included intel 4965AG card.
I've tried to use the ndiswrapper framework without success. The ndisgen wizard 
runs without issues, but kldloading the driver freezes and reboots the machine.

I've also tried two cardbus devices.

The Cisco Aironet - AIR CB21AG (ath driver):

Oct 26 13:30:27 t61p kernel: cardbus0: Expecting link target, got 0x0
Oct 26 13:30:27 t61p kernel: ath0: <Atheros 5212> mem 0xbfeb0000-0xbfebffff irq 
16 at device 0.0 on cardbus0
Oct 26 13:30:27 t61p kernel: ath0: [ITHREAD]
Oct 26 13:30:27 t61p kernel: ath0: unable to attach hardware; HAL status 13
Oct 26 13:30:27 t61p kernel: device_attach: ath0 attach returned 6

and the Conceptronic C54RC (ral driver):

Oct 26 13:40:59 t61p kernel: cardbus0: Expecting link target, got 0x0
Oct 26 13:40:59 t61p kernel: ral0: <Ralink Technology RT2560> mem

Oct 26 13:41:40 t61p last message repeated 99 times
Oct 26 13:41:40 t61p kernel: ral0: timeout waiting for BBP

I'm running:
uname -a
FreeBSD t61p 7.0-BETA1 FreeBSD 7.0-BETA1 #0: Fri Oct 26 13:10:37 WEST 2007 
root at t61p:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386

GENERIC kernel with ULE and without debugging.

Is there anything I can do to diagnose these issues?

Thanks!
