This is FreeBSD 6-STABLE of 19 Dec; laptop is a Dell Latitude D820. The
driver loads OK. Mind you, I had to manually copy the wlan_amrr code
=66rom CURRENT to get it to compile on this STABLE box (along with some
minor .h file merging).=20

However, it does not work correctly. dmesg(8) output can be found on
http://rink.nu/tmp/dmesg-wpi

Any advice would be very appreciated! Thanks for working on this!
