How to get Cisco Aironet MPI350 wireless card to work

[Momchil Ivanov]

Hi guys,

I have Cisco Aironet MPI350 in my IBM T40 laptop and since I`ve never used 
wireless cards I don`t know what exactly to do. When I load the if_an I see 
the following messages


an0: <Cisco Aironet MPI350> port 0x8000-0x80ff mem 
0xc0210000-0xc0213fff,0xc0400000-0xc07fffff irq 11 at device 2.0 on pci2
an0: record length mismatch -- expected 194, got 196 for Rid ff10
an0: record length mismatch -- expected 192, got 260 for Rid ff00
an0: got RSSI <-> dBM map
an0: supported rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps
an0: Ethernet address: 00:0e:9b:1f:61:3e
an0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
an0: record length mismatch -- expected 194, got 196 for Rid ff10
an0: record length mismatch -- expected 194, got 196 for Rid ff10

and when I try "ifconfig an0 scan" it never returns.

This is how it looks like in ifconfig

an0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        ether 00:0e:9b:1f:61:3e
        media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (DS/11Mbps)
        status: no carrier
        ssid  channel 1
        stationname FreeBSD
        authmode OPEN privacy OFF deftxkey 1 txpowmax 0 rtsthreshold 0
        mcastrate 0 fragthreshold 0 bmiss 0 roaming DEVICE

What am I doing wrog? When I got the laptop there was Windows on it and used 
to show some wireless devices I can connect to. How can I get a list of the 
available wireless devices or is the driver broken? I`m running 6-stable as 
of 1-2 weeks ago.

I`ve also tried to use the windows driver via ndis, but when I load the ndis 
module and if_ndis I don`t see any corresponding device with ifconfig (no 
ndis0, no an0).

Thanks
