Requisite info:

IBM ThinkPad 760XL
FreeBSD 4.3 RELEASE

I have had a lot of good luck with pccard. I have a 3com EtherlinkIII and
a Gateway modem card that function with with no problems.

We recently received a Cisco wireless do-hickey. It had the 350 series
card which was not recognized.

After reading Bruce's post on the Airnet 350, I copied the Cisco 340 info
and renamed it Cisco 350 as follows:

# Aironet 350/352 Series 11 Mbps 802.11 wireless NIC
card "Cisco Systems" "350 Series Wireless LAN Adapter"
	config 	auto "an" ?
	insert	/etc/pccard_ether $device start
	remove	/etc/pccard_ether $device stop

The card is recognized when it's inserted, and I can see the MAC address.

However, when ifconfiging it as follows:

ifconfig an0 inet 10.1.1.69 netmask 255.255.255.0
route add default 10.1.1.254

it barfs with a constant string of messages as follows:

an0: record length mismatch -- expected 134, got 136

These messages continue until I get to another tty, unconfig the card and
remove it.

The messages I receive when inserting the card are (with date omitted for
clarity):
# pccard: card insterted, slot 0
/kernel: pccard: card inserted, slot 0
/kernel: pccard: card inserted, slot 0

pccard[93]: Card "Cisco Systems"("350 Series Wireless LAN Adapter")

pccard[93]: an0: Cisco Systems (350 Series Wireless LAN Adapter) inserted.
pccard[93]: an0: Cisco Systems (350 Series Wireless LAN Adapter) inserted.

So, what to do?

Thanks,

Tom
