Update: exact same card on an Asus P2B PII-400 MHz machine with FreeBSD 
4.8-p-something produced much the same results above when I did 
"kldload if_wi". Difference was "attach returned 5" and the system 
locked hard.

Studying D-Link's site I now know I have a "version E" card, if that 
means anything. NT4 is the newest Microsoft product I have, and isn't 
supported by D-Link. The D-Link instructions say their software is to 
be installed before the hardware so I'm wondering if it has to be 
FLASH'ed or something?
