I got my D-Link DWL-650 802.11b pccard working in FreeBSD 
4.2, and then upgraded my system to 4.3 STABLE on 5 June.  
The card stopped working.

The driver can't initialize, and worse, it renders the 
PCMCIA ports unusable by my wired Ethernet card until I 
power down the system (I haven't tried rebooting without 
powering down -- a reboot may be sufficient).  I.E. once 
the wi driver has tried to attach, my other card cannot 
attach either.

Looking at the wi driver change log, I guessed that the 
problem was introduced on April 22 when the attach method 
was changed, so I "downgraded" to RELENG_4_3, and that 
solved the problem for now. 

The card has one other problem: I can't get it to use 
encryption.  This was true in 4.2 as well.

I'm posting the mostly for the benefit of others who may 
run into the problem, but if anyone has suggestions 
(particularly wrt enabling encryption), I'd love to hear 
them.

I'm going to post a more diagnostically detailed description 
of the problem to -mobile.

- Bob
