Problem with wireless card drivers

I have been trying to get my wireless card working for the last week. Practically I read almost everything about it in man pages, handbook and some google results. Nothing worked. I just cannot see why it doesn't appear. I am doing the kernel module compilation and loading by the book. My last

Are you sure one should use ndiscvt? I mean i tried it the same except for getting pccarddefs.h (which as they say will be used in eventual kernel compiles) and for synchronising the source which I cannot do because no network is available. I have wireless only connection. Most people say that

I am quite new to FreeBSD. Could you please explain what do you mean by recompiled kernel to be sure that the wireless support is included. Do you mean to create a kernel config with ndis and if_ndis statically linked into it? I haven't done this one so far. Atanas

Do you still have the wlan device compiled in the kernel? I would also make sure to remove the ral device, as this is for the same chipset family but your card uses a newer version that the native ral driver does not support but I could imagine it might create difficulties. All I can

Hi Stefi, I am having trouble getting my wlan card working. My problem is that after I load the kernel modules, I see no adapter with ifconfig. Could you please tell me whether after moving the ko file to /boot/kenel you did something else like kldxref or not. I tried to update the references
