 I have diagnosed and solved the problem.
 
 PCI 2.1 mobo does not supply 3.3V power reqd by MA311.
 (3.3V power mandatory on PCI 2.2 mobo, optional on PCI 2.1.)
 
 Sufficient power was supplied by parasitic paths to get the MA311
 partially working. I successfully ran the firmware upgrade flasher
 on this mobo. Confusing!
 
 MA311 is now in another mobo which does supply 3.3V power and I have
 had the WLAN working. FreeBSD 4.9-REL at both ends.
