It it normal to hang for a little bit. Maybe 10s. Now to make it work you need an older version of firmware and the driver in -current or delete the code in /sys/dev/an/if_an.c between the lines that says "HACK". What you could do it remove the card from behind one of the doors on the bottom of your laptop boot and then install FreeBSD including the sources for sys. Then recompile with the above change. Flash the firmware via Window. Then it should work. This assumes that your laptop is okay and not messing up system resources. Doug A.
