WPC11 version 4 card

I have been toying with a Linksys WAP and a WPC11 card most of this
weekend and I have not been able to get freebsd to recognize the card.
I have googled a fair amount on this and searched the archives and have
not found any help.  The card is labeled as WPC11 version 4 -- and I am
thinking it is the "version 4" part that is giving me grief.

I am running -CURRENT 5.1B2, sup'd Saturday, on a Dell C600 Latitude.
It recognizes my LAN card without any hassle, so I am quite certain the
card bus is functional.

Whenever I plug the WPC11 card into the laptop, I get this output in my
/var/log/messages ( pardon the formatting ):

    May 25 16:08:57 buttercup kernel: cbb1: CardBus card activation 	
    failed	

Has anybody made this card work yet?  What have I missed?  

I am willing to put some effort into maing this work, so if somebody
could give me some pointers on where to start, I would appreciate that
too.

Thanks for any help,
  Mik
