Of course no trace of the mentioned chip in wi(4). After that i tried to find a Linksys card. Well, i found one, but - life can be so cruel - it did not have the listed Prism Chip, it was either AMD or Admtek. 3rd try: SMC 2602W. Now i got the SMC 2602W (the package says it is version 2 :/ ) which has a Admtek ADM8211 chip on it. BLOODY!

Well, who can help now? Where to go next? Unfortunatly I got this version of the SMC2602W card too :/ Andrea's tip will not help us here because the wi driver does not understand the Admtek ADM8211 chip :( What did you guys end up with, did you buy a new card or what?

Well, who can help now? Where to go next? I found a guy who is working on a driver for the Admtek ADM8211 wireless chipset. I've contacted him about my 2602W card, and he's going to try to add it to his driver. Apparently a lot of low-cost cards are using this chipset now. He said he was making progress on the driver but couldn't give me a release date. I think I'm going to wait and see what he comes up with. Until then I may throw the card in a spare computer and install Win98, a NIC, and some kind of bridging software, as a temporary measure.

This sounds familiar :)
I've the same problem with my Wireless PCI and like you I based my choice on the
'Supported' List.
But, maybe you're luckiest than me so if you want you could try to force the driver
to recognize your card.
This is how:
First, run pciconf -vl and find out your card among those listed..
Then look into /usr/share/misc/pci_vendors to find then IDs.
Example:
# pciconf -lv
none2@pci0:8:0: class=0x028000 card=0x013115e8 chip=0x013115e8 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'National Datacomm Corp.'
device = 'Prism II InstantWave HR PCI card'
class= network
/usr/share/misc/pci_vendors:
15E8National Datacomm Corp.
0130NCP130 Wireless NIC
0131Prism II InstantWave HR PCI card
So our IDs are vendor=0x15E8 ,device=0131
Now that you have your numbers go in '/usr/src/sys/dev/wi' and look for 'if_wi_pci.c'
Edit the file and look for these lines :
} pci_ids[] = {
/* Sorted by description */
{0x10b7, 0x7770, WI_BUS_PCI_PLX, 3Com Airconnect},
{0x16ab, 0x1101, WI_BUS_PCI_PLX, GLPRISM2 WaveLAN},
{0x1260, 0x3873, WI_BUS_PCI_NATIVE, Intersil Prism2.5},
{0x16ab, 0x1102, WI_BUS_PCI_PLX, Linksys WDT11},
{0x1385, 0x4100, WI_BUS_PCI_PLX, Netgear MA301},
{0x1638, 0x1100, WI_BUS_PCI_PLX, PRISM2STA WaveLAN},
{0x111a, 0x1023, WI_BUS_PCI_PLX, Siemens SpeedStream},
{0x16ec, 0x3685, WI_BUS_PCI_PLX, US Robotics 2415},
{0, 0, 0, NULL}
};
And add a line with your IDs:
{0x111a, 0x1023, WI_BUS_PCI_PLX, Siemens SpeedStream},
--{0x15E8, 0x0131, WI_BUS_PCI_PLX, Prism II InstantWave HR PCI card}, ---
{0x16ec, 0x3685, WI_BUS_PCI_PLX, US Robotics 2415},
Then recompile and cross your fingers.. ;)
You could try another variant changing WI_BUS_PCI_PLX to WI_BUS_PCI_NATIVE ..
Now the kernel should see your card ... about attaching it.. i really don't know..
Bye.
