I had nightmares about my netgear card and FreeBSD. My first suggestion is
to go out and get a nice supported card. I like the SMC cards; not dongles
to break.

Other suggestions: is the card registering at all? Try tailing
/var/log/messages when you insert it. There should be a message. You might
need to edit /etc/pccard.conf to get it to work. Hell, is pccardd runnning
at all?

Also, I think I had to set duplex manually on my netgear card to get it to
work.

Hope that helps...
