Press the card into the correct 'socket'. 2. (as 'su' run) kldload if_ath 3. (as 'su' run) ifconfig ath0 up 4. (as 'su' run) ifconfig ath0 - look at the info, and then decide if you need to do further actions, such as: 5. connecting to a specific AP (again via ifconfig) 6. getting an IP-adress (via dhclient) The PC-card should "show up" after you have loaded the kernel module and made the PC-card "active" with 'up', but if nothing happens then you might have either hardware problems or 'strangeness'. As I remember it your using an IBM R51 --> I have the same laptop with the build-in Intel 2200BG card and it works just fine for daily office use combined with the iwi-driver (from ports) - so if you have the same build-in card I would like to ask if your already have this one working (and just need the PC-card for other stuff, just as I do) ?
