I have it working on 4.6-STABLE.
This entry from 4.6 should match the 3.0 card:
# Linksys Instant Wireless WPC11 v2.5
card "The Linksys Group, Inc." "Instant Wireless Network PC Card"
config auto "wi" ? 0x10000
insert /etc/pccard_ether $device start
remove /etc/pccard_ether $device stop
It works just fine..
