Dell Inspiron 6400 Intel PRO/Wireless 3495 trouble

Hello,
I have a Dell Inspiron 6400 equipped with the Intel PRO/Wireless 3495 card.
I have installed the port for iwi and it does not work for me. I am able to
do a kldload -v if_iwi without errors. A kldstat shows that the module has
been loaded. However, a dmesg | grep iwi reveals nothing. Additionally, an
ifconfig iwi0 gives an error that the device is not present.
When I do a full length dmesg, I do notice the following line:
pci3: <base peripheral> at device 1.1 (no driver attached)
pci3: <base peripheral> at device 1.2 (no driver attached)
pci3: <base peripheral> at device 1.3 (no driver attached)
pci3: <base peripheral> at device 1.4 (no driver attached)
I am guessing that this is just the wireless card that is unrecognized
because there are no other messages to the effect of unknown. I do know for
a fact that I have the 3495 as it worked fine under Windows (ugggh!). Any
insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt
