thanks, it seems to be detected now, from dmesg:

cardbus1: Expecting link target, got 0xfd
cardbus1: Resource not specified in CIS: id=10, size=2000
cardbus1: Resource not specified in CIS: id=14, size=20000
ndis0: <U.S. Robotics 802.11g Wireless Turbo Adapter> mem 0x88020000-0x88021fff,
0x88000000-0x8801ffff irq 11 at device 0.0 on cardbus1
ndis0: NDIS API version: 5.1
ndis0: Ethernet address: 00:c0:49:a9:22:59

I still cannot connect to the wireless network, but this
is probably another problem..

# ifconfig ndis0 up scan

# tail /etc/rc.conf
ifconfig_ndis0="DHCP"

# /etc/rc.d/netif start

#

I also tried

# ifconfig ndis0 ssid UoB-Wireless

but that didn't help.

I'll try to update the driver version from 4.0q to 6.0b15, but
the latter is not working fine yet. I think it is because I mixed
different versions of inf, sys and firmware.

many thanks
anton
