The good news is that my D-Link 650 works fine in my Toshiba Tecra 8000.

The bad news is that a brand new RangeLAN-DS 8434 card does not. This is
the 8434 version of the card; the JustDeals ones are 8433s, which don't
have quite the qualities this one does (as shown on
http://www.personaltelco.net/index.cgi/RangeLanDsComments).

After "ifconfig":

wi0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        ether 00:60:b3:6f:56:d3
wi0: timeout in wi_cmd 0x0021; event status 0x8000
wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear.

(repeat until ^C)

If I try "ifconfig inet 10.0.0.115 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid dontask",
it does this:

wi0: timeout in wi_cmd 0x0000; event status 0x8000
wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear.
wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear.
wi0:init failed
wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear.
[repeat busy bit line many times]
wi0: failed to allocate 1594 bytes on NIC
wi0: tx buffer allocation failed
wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear.
wi0: failed to allocate 1594 bytes on NIC
wi0: mgmt. buffer allocation failed

Updating the firmware via a hellish Windows experience made no
difference, although it did prove the card works under that system.

Suggestions are welcome.
