Linksys wmp11v4, NDISulator and FreeBSD 5.2.1 -current (6.0)

[Dexter Santucci]

Hi there,

I've got a bsd box on 5.2.1 freshly updated to -current:
FreeBSD 6.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 6.0-CURRENT #0: .../usr/src/sys/i386/compile/CUSTOM  i386
Custom kernel with just what I need in it.
I have a linksys wmp11v4 wireless card. I compiled the NDISulator (/sys/modules/ndis and /sys/modules/if_ndis) successfully.
Both modules load fine (no panic, no make-time error except the object warning). I used the sys and inf from the card's CD: LSIPNDS.sys and LSIPNDS.inf.
However, the ndis0 interface does not appear. Rebooting, unloading / reloading both modules did not help.

dmesg.boot shows the following unknown card:
pci1: <network, ethernet> at device 7.0 (no driver attached)

pciconf shows it as well:
none8 at pci1:7:0: class=0x020000 card=0x00201737 chip=0x212017fe rev=0x00 hdr=0x00
    vendor   = 'InProComm Inc'
    class    = network
    subclass = ethernet

It is indeed the v4 linksys using the InProComm chip.
I've verified the pci device IDs in the inf, and they seem to match the pciconf's description: 

Linksys.DeviceDesc% = IPN2120.ndi, PCI\VEN_17FE&DEV_2120&SUBSYS_00201737

I've tried ndiscvt'ing with bcmwl5.sys and lsbcmnds.inf from the CD root without success.
I have tried compiling a GENERIC kernel, with same results.

I have tried three different cards on both 4.9 stable and 5.2.1 current and stable: this wmp11v4, a d-link dwl-510 and dwl-520. 
None of them have been detected so far by wi. The 520 is one of those newer cards with a different chipset. 
The 510 is not supported by wi.. and now this third replacement, the wmp11 is yet again a new chipset.. am I out of luck?
