	I am responding to my own question to let other FreeBSD users know
that after cvsupping to 3.5 STABLE from 3.2 RELEASE, my NIC shows up.  al0
is the correct device name, so the Linksys driver disk README was correct.
What I still can't figure out is why 3.2 RELEASE wouldn't recognize the NIC
with the same two file in the same spot.  If I can determine it was the
drivers and not my error I can let Linksys know about it and they can
change the README.  I get the cable modem installed tommorrow and will
repost on this thread with the NIC's performance.  For $25 US, if this card
performs well it's a real steal.
