Unfortunately, i must report that this last version still does not work for
me. Even worse the computer is flooded with error messages to the point it is
hard to reboot.
These are like so:
Feb  3 00:11:31 rose kernel: rx notification qid=96 idx=92 flags=0 type=131

Feb  3 00:11:31 rose kernel: rx notification qid=96 idx=93 flags=0

continually repeating and the WLAN light never lights up. 

For me the driver   0070121-wpi-freebsd.tar.gz as mentioned in the postof
Gilbert Cao is the only one that works, and works very well. I am just using it
now.  My computer is a Sony Vaio VGN C1 in 32 bits mode.
