Linksys WMP11 not working in any mode

I installed a WMP11 card in my desktop machine hoping to use
it as a base station, but at least under FreeBSD-STABLE (as of Aug 10),
I've been unable to get my OS X Powerbook to "see" it in either hostap
or ad-hoc modes.

FreeBSD recognizes the card; here's the relevant bit from dmesg:

wi0: <Intersil Prism2.5> mem 0xf6aff000-0xf6afffff irq 9 at device 8.0 on pci1
wi0: 802.11 address: 00:06:25:09:59:d1
wi0: using RF:PRISM2.5 MAC:ISL3874A(Mini-PCI)
wi0: Intersil Firmware: Primary 1.01.00, Station 1.04.02

Would upgrading the firmware help?

I had been in contact with a very helpful Australian named Andrew
who has this card and is using it in hostap mode with an iBook running
OS X, so I know it's possible, but I've tried numerous 'ifconfig' and
'wicontrol' options to no avail. He's also running an older version
of STABLE than I am; would another cvsup/make world help?

I know the card is not defective because I broke down and installed
Windows NT just to see if I could get it working under a "supported"
platform. Under Windows in ad-hoc mode the Powerbook sees it
and they can communicate with each other, but it should go without
saying that running Windows is not a solution.

I'd appreciate any help, and if there's any other information I should
provide but didn't, please let me know.
