3com officeconnect pcmcia card & ndis issues

I am running FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT on my notebook with the ndis module 
loaded. My 3com wifi card is detected but then I get an error on the 
console and whilst an ndis0 device is created any attempt to configure 
it results in ifconfig hanging for 30 seconds before completing the 
command. None of the lights on the card are lit up.

The message in the syslog saying "Can't reuse a leaf" looks dodgy to me?

Any ideas what I can try or what's wrong here?

I know the pcmcia card slots work as my xircom ethernet works fine.

Notice the time difference until it logs out the ethernet address.
