I tried booting from the 6.3-Release install CD (and also 7.0 RC2 
snapshot iso) and still no luck.

However, booting these same CD's on a laptop (i.e. no PCI->Cardbus 
adapter) the very same card is recognized.  sysinstall lets me config 
ath0 and used the CD as a live filesystem allows traffic to pass.

The PCI->Cardbus adapter works with other 802.11b cards though, so I'm 
guessing something about this combination is the issue.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
MikeC
