With FreeBSD 7.0-stable running on T42 + Cisco Aironet 350 minipci, I'm able
 to associate with the AP with 128bits encryption via ifconfig command,
 ifconfig an0 ssid 'myap' wepmode on weptxkey 1 wepkey 1:0x<mykey>. Still no
 luck of getting wpa_supplicant to manage it.

 It started giving out problem after 15-20mins or with heavy usage (using
 scp). The device refused to work and lockup the system for a while (few
 seconds to minutes). The system will alive again after an0 puked out these
 error messages.

 an0: device timeout
 an0: reset failed
 an0: failed to allocate RX descriptor
 an0: failed to write RID 1 ff11 a921 fdba 4365 c287, 60
 an0: failed to set ssid list
 an0: failed to read RID 1 ff50 a921 fdba 4365 c287, 3
 an0: failed to read RID 1 ff50 a921 fdba 4365 c287, 3
 an0: failed to read RID 1 ff50 a921 fdba 4365 c287, 3
 an0: failed to read RID 1 ff50 a921 fdba 4365 c287, 3

 The firmware in use was 5.00.01. The an0 driver is still not happy with it.
 Or I should forget about the card and buy a new PCMCIA card to go wireless?
 Any help or hint on this would be great.
