Orinoco/watchdog timeout

I'm using a Orinoco Silver 802.11b pcmcia card in a Thinkpad s30
(Japanese model).  I'm installing FreeBSD 5.0.  If I boot with the card
already in, it gets recognized as wi0.  When I ifconfig, I see the card
settings (ssid, etc.).  When I ifconfig with arguments to turn the link
on, however, I immediately get

wi0: watchdog timeout

Then the system gets very sluggish and after a few seconds, it hangs.

I tried building the OLDCARD kernel, but it wouldn't boot.  I can't run
the 4.x series on this machine (won't boot - looks like it just loses
the console for some reason).  I'm going to try tweaking the kernel
config a little, but any advice on how to fix this is much appreciated.
