With the help dmesg double check IO port conflicts for 0x200-0x27f range. Special attention to PnP messages near this: "can't assign resources (port)". See IO ports in BIOS SetUp for range 0x200-0x27f.

Your card is actually Linksys WPC11, WPC11 2.5 or WPC11 3? WPC11 4 is not listed in wi(4). IMHO, all listed card is pccard (16-bit), but your card is cardbus (32-bit). Post messegas from "pciconf -lv" for this card. > I did not try to rebuild the kernel, as support is included in the GENERIC > config file.
