I didn't see any Linksys wireless cards explicitly listed in the 5.2.1 hardware notes: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.2.1R/hardware-i386.html#AEN815 Some searches on the web are sure to turn up some pages about others trying to get that and similar cards to work with FreeBSD.

Do you actually have devices physically installed in the machine that are supported by each of those drivers?
