6.0-RELEASE (I had mentioned that I intended to replace it with 6.1 from
some ISO's but I think I'll wait until the wireless is working and upgrade
via cvsup)

NEWCARD or OLDCARD kernel?


Um, you got me. The kernel the x86 OS comes with (FreeBSD
6.0-RELEASEi386-GENERIC?)

dmesg.boot file?


attached.

kldstat output?


follows:

1   26 0xc0400000 63070c   kernel
 2   16 0xc0a31000 568dc    acpi.ko
 3    1 0xc1b12000 4000     logo_saver.ko
 4    2 0xc1b20000 9000     ibcs2.ko
 5    1 0xc1b2b000 3000     ibcs2_coff.ko
 6    1 0xc1b2f000 15000    linux.ko
 7    1 0xc209a000 e000     if_ath.ko
 8    1 0xc20a8000 3000     ath_rate.ko
 9    1 0xc20ab000 24000    ath_hal.ko
10    1 0xc20d7000 3000     wlan_acl.ko
11    1 0xc20da000 7000     wlan_ccmp.ko
12    1 0xc20e1000 4000     wlan_tkip.ko
13    1 0xc20e5000 3000     wlan_wep.ko
14    1 0xc20e8000 2000     wlan_xauth.ko

kernel configuration file?


attached.

pciconf -vl output?


attached.

Is any card seen when plugged into the card slot?


How do I check this? No lights ("Link" or "Active") come on when  i insert
the card and do the "ifconfig dance"

This is just a shot in the dark, but is device wlan in the kernel?


Yep.

HTH

Thanks.
