Can you send the output of a dmesg after booting with > the -v flag? You don't need to compile the driver into the kernel; just kldload it. You do need to enable pccard, however, and run pccardd. If that happens, you can still run into problems with unknown cards. For example, I recently got an IBM wireless card, which is in fact a repackaged Lucent card, but the ID strings in the CIS are different. Make sure your pccardd is running and check /var/log/messages for any messages when you insert and remove the card.
