I'm confused here - I already use this card on laptop with FreeBSD 4.7 and 4.6.
It's connected through TI PCI-1225 Cardbus controller which is both PCCard and
Cardbus. (Kernel reports PC Card 16 bit bus (classic) though).
So is DWL-650 PCCard or Cardbus? Or D-Link technical writers messed up?
ftp://ftp2.dlink.com/Wireless/DWL650/ProdSpec/dwl-650-datasheet.pdf
- there card looks different and is a "PCMCIA Type-II adapter."
Overall DWL-650 works fine.
There are two small inconveniences :
1. pccardd fails to load if_wi.ko after reboot ("driver allocation failed").
It loads it after card remove/insert.
2. I had to put wi0 in promiscuous mode to prevent high packet loss.
