Hi,

I have had a problem using the ndis driver for my wireless cardbus 
adapter since I updated current in April.

The wireless card is an Alloy WLT245401 model with a Texas Instruments 
chipset.

With a current from November 2005, I used the wireless adapter 
successfully.

I updated current yesterday and still no joy:
FreeBSD priscilla.gsoft.com.au 7.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT #7: Wed 
Aug 23 08:34:10 CST 2006 
root@priscilla.gsoft.com.au:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/PRISCILLA  i386


When I insert the wireless card, I see the following in /var/log/messages:

Aug 21 18:29:53 priscilla kernel: cardbus0: CIS pointer is 0x1c02
Aug 21 18:29:53 priscilla kernel: cardbus0: CIS in BAR 0x14

     device   = 'TNETW1130(ACX111) 802.11b/g Wireless Cardbus/PCI Adapter'

I wound back the versions of the cardbus module. The wireless card 
worked again when I made a cardbus module dated < December 29, 2005. If 
I advance further than that I get the problem above.

Does anyone else have this problem?

Regards, Adrian
