Hi guys,

I have Cisco Aironet MPI350 in my IBM T40 laptop and since I`ve never used=
=20
wireless cards I don`t know what exactly to do. When I load the if_an I see=
=20
the following messages


an0: <Cisco Aironet MPI350> port 0x8000-0x80ff mem=20
0xc0210000-0xc0213fff,0xc0400000-0xc07fffff irq 11 at device 2.0 on pci2
an0: record length mismatch -- expected 194, got 196 for Rid ff10
an0: record length mismatch -- expected 192, got 260 for Rid ff00
an0: got RSSI <-> dBM map
an0: supported rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps
an0: Ethernet address: 00:0e:9b:1f:61:3e
an0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
an0: record length mismatch -- expected 194, got 196 for Rid ff10
an0: record length mismatch -- expected 194, got 196 for Rid ff10

and when I try "ifconfig an0 scan" it never returns.

This is how it looks like in ifconfig

an0: flags=3D8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 ether 00:0e:9b:1f:61:3e

 rtsthreshold 0

What am I doing wrog? When I got the laptop there was Windows on it and use=
d=20
to show some wireless devices I can connect to. How can I get a list of the=
=20
available wireless devices or is the driver broken? I`m running 6-stable as=
=20
of 1-2 weeks ago.

I`ve also tried to use the windows driver via ndis, but when I load the ndi=
s=20
module and if_ndis I don`t see any corresponding device with ifconfig (no=20
ndis0, no an0).

Thanks
