SMC and Linksys make great integrated CardBus adapters. The SMC adapters work with the dc(4) driver, and I do not recall the driver the Linksys ones use (I think lnc(4) but don't quote me on that one). I've got two of the SMC cards (8035TX and 8036TX) and they are wonderful to use. And I've also got a Linksys PCM100. All three work in FreeBSD 5.0, 5.1, and 5.2. They don't use dongles, and they only take up one Type-II slot (unlike the horrible Xircom cards that take up two Type-II slots). I paid ~$50 CDN for the Linksys at FutureShop, the SMC were gifts.
