I was very sad 5 Months ago when I could not get Freebsd to work with 
this Intel wireless card myself and installed Fedora linux instead. Does 
the NDIS (project evil) driver really work with this card, I had read 
somewhere that it did not (or that it did not work well) and so did not 
bother to try it.
