: CardBus (32-bit) PCcards are not supported by FreeBSD 4. They will be
: supported in FreeBSD V5 which is currently scheduled for release in
: November. Until then your only hope is to run CURRENT or the latest V5
: developer's snapshot. (The developer's snapshot probably is more
: stable, but there are newer features in CURRENT.)
: 
: With either you will need to build and run the NEWCARD kernel. (See
: the V5 documentation.)
: 
: Good luck!

You'll need it with the DWL-650+.  It uses the new TI wireless
chipset.  You cannot get an interface from TI, and it doesn't work at
all with the wi driver, even in current.
