This is FreeBSD 6-STABLE of 19 Dec; laptop is a Dell Latitude D820. The
driver loads OK. Mind you, I had to manually copy the wlan_amrr code
from CURRENT to get it to compile on this STABLE box (along with some
minor .h file merging). 

However, it does not work correctly. dmesg(8) output can be found on
http://rink.nu/tmp/dmesg-wpi

Any advice would be very appreciated! Thanks for working on this!
