DWL-650 with Compaq Armada 7370

I've been struggling for several days to make my D-Link DWL 650 nic work with 
BSD 4.4, 4.5, and 4.6. All of these versions produce the same error. When I 
plug the nic in, I receive a message saying:

pccardd[48]: Card D blah blah [(null)] [(null)]
wi0 at port 0x240-0x27f irq 11 slot 0 on pccard0
wi0: mac read failed 5
device_probe_and_attach: wi0 attach returned 5
pccardd[48]: driver allocation failed for blah: Input/output error

Now, I've tried disabling all sorts of stuff in the kernel to free up IRQ's, 
I've set the IRQ within /etc/rc.conf to various different values that I know 
should be available and everytime I receive the same message or variations on 
the same message.

This card is the version that supports 128-bit WEP so I think it's prism 2.5 
based. I can boot into win98 (on the same laptop) and use the card perfectly 
fine. in win98 it uses IRQ 15 and if I recall it was using a memory range 
between 1000-100f or something like that. ( i could be wrong on the last 
value)

I was thinking there might be a memory conflict so I've tried changing those 
settings, but i'm not really sure what I should be trying with those.

If anyone has any ideas on how to make this work, PLEASE let me know.. it's 
driving me nuts that I can't make this work yet.

Thanks,
Rob Babb
