I also have problems with this card on an IBM ThinkPad T41. The funny
thing is that it only lists 802.11a and 11g rates, no 11b.
Anyway, if I fire up tcpdump I can see traffic in clear text so my
wep key and stuff works but I can not send anything and the status
is always "no carrier". Could it be an issue with the radio being
off (like just the transmitter was off)? The radio-switch only seems
to turn on/off bluetooth but not the wireless radio in FreeBSD, is there
any software that can do this?

Any ideas? More info?
