Hi.

I'm having trouble with Linksys WPC54G wlan card on IBM ThinnkPad A21e. OS is Freebsd 5.4 release and win2k dual boot. Card works flawlessly in win. 

I read instructions on links below, added hw.pci.allow_unsupported_io_range=1 to /boot/loader.conf
I also disabled ACPI and enabled APM, but it did not change much.
Below are cardbus related messages during boot, first with acpi, then with apm.
I sucessfully created ndis drivers, but loading second one is not sucessful due to previous problems:

ThinkPad# kldload ndis
ThinkPad# kldload if_ndis
cardbus0: Expecting link target, got 0x70
cardbus0: Resource not specified in CIS: id=10, size=2000
cardbus0: Resource not specified in CIS: id=14, size=20000

Boot messages:

ACPI:

cbb0: <TI1410 PCI-CardBus Bridge> mem 0x50000000-0x50000fff irq 11 at device 2.0
