David, I have had a very frustrating coupld of weeks trying to purchase in the UK a freebsd supported WiFi Card. I originally started with a D-Link DWL-G520+ (not supported) Next I got a Netgear WG311EU which i was assured would work fine and was the Atheros chipset. When it turned up mine was actually a WG311 v2 (a version 2 model) The version two is based on the Texas Instruments TNETW Chipset and is not yet supported, but work is underway in the form of http://wlan.kewl.org The version 1 of the card used to be the Atheros chipset. pciconf -lv will tell you which chipset the card is. I finally resorted to the rather more expensive D-Link DWL-AG520 cards which are reported to have good support although I havent had a chance to properbly test them yet. Hope this helps. Thanks Adam.
