having trouble with Merlin C-201 CDMA card

FreeBSD stewie.thna.net 5.2.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE #0: Mon Feb 23
20:45:55 GMT 2004
[email protected]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386

this is on a dell inspiron 2650.

The system sees the card, here's the dmesg output:

pccard0: CIS checksum failed
pccard0: Allocation failed for cfe 13
sio4: <Novatel Wireless CDMA 1.9GHz> at port 0x2f8-0x2ff,0x3e8-0x3ef irq
10 function 0 config 21 on pccard0
sio4: type 16550A
sio4: unable to activate interrupt in fast mode - using normal mode

I tried to get this working using the instructions from:
http://people.freebsd.org/~nsayer/

here's my ppp.log file:

Then when running "ppp inet" it completely locks my system up, if the card
is plugged in and I remove it it completely locks my system up, if I
symlink /dev/cuaa0 -> /dev/modem and then try to access it using minicom
it completely locks my system up.

Does anyone have any ideas.  It works fine under windows but I have having
to reboot to windows for any reason at all.

Thanks,
Dan Finn
