Well, sorry to post in *this* thread. It may not be appropriate, but I
just subscribe to freebsd-drivers :p.

As I have posted a message here:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2007-January/140475.html

I have put a custom version of mine from your last package here:
http://www.bsdmon.com/download/20070121-wpi-freebsd.tar.gz

What I have mainly done is to make the package compile and work (for me
a least) on 6.2-RELEASE (and possibly other 6.x ?).

Don't know if you will ignore it or not, but I feel like I should have post
it here, anyway.
As it works well, now for my daily uses (reading mail, surfing on the
HTTP, playing Q3 ;), I may post some debug output, if needed, but I keep
using 6.2, no -current.
The post may be off topic, sorry ...
