I am trying to setup a wireless AP/gateway on FBSD 5.3 Rlease. The
machine is an IBM Thinkpad A20m. After
consulting the wi manpage I bought a DLINK DWL-650. When I insert the
card I get the following message:
wi0: <D-Link DWL-650 Wireless PC Card RevP> at port 0x200-0x27f irq 11
function 0 config 1 on pccard0
wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear.
: init failed
device_attach: wi0 attach returned 6
I searched Google and it seems there is a patch, but I did not see any
confirmation that the patch fixed the problem. I did not try the patch to
see if it works. I want something that works with a generic install.
So I tried another card to see if that would work, I bought a Linksys
WPC11 ver.4 (it is also on the list from man wi). However, this did not
work either, and this is the message when the card is inserted:
cardbus0: <network, ethernet> at device 0.0 (no driver attached)
cbb0: CardBus card activation failed
I did not try to rebuild the kernel, as support is included in the GENERIC
config file. Here are the relevent parts of the Kernel config file.
# PCCARD (PCMCIA) support
# PCMCIA and cardbus bridge support
device cbb # cardbus (yenta) bridge
device pccard # PC Card (16-bit) bus
device cardbus # CardBus (32-bit) bus
# Wireless NIC cards
device wlan # 802.11 support
device an # Aironet 4500/4800 802.11 wireless NICs.
device awi # BayStack 660 and others
device wi # WaveLAN/Intersil/Symbol 802.11 wireless
NICs.
#device wl # Older non 802.11 Wavelan wireless NIC.
Here is dmesg:

I would really appreciate feedback on the following:
1. How to configure one of the cards I have, and or documentation (I have
read all the documentation I could find)
2. A suggestion for a wireless card that is known to work in BSS mode
(Acess Point mode) to use as a base station.
TIA,
Andy
