On amd64 r217010 laptop (HP Compaq 6715s)
I'm trying to use this wi(4) device:

wi0: <The Linksys Group, Inc. Instant Wireless Network PC Card>
 at port 0x100-0x13f irq 20 function 0 config 1 on pccard0

I do

# ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev wi0
# ifconfig -a
bge0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
        options=8009b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,LINKSTAT

        ether 00:1a:4b:89:4b:4e
        inet 192.168.1.102 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
        media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
        status: active

        ether 00:06:25:10:56:3b
        media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (autoselect)
        status: no carrier

        bintval 0

But after

# ifconfig wlan0 up scan

I get console freeze requiring cold reboot.
No panic, just a LOR:

 wi0: <The Linksys Group, Inc. Instant Wireless Network PC Card> at port 0x100-0x13f irq 20 function 0 config 1 on pccard0

In case it matters I've

hw.cbb.start_memory="0xf4800000"

in /boot/loader.conf, according to
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=115623


Please advise

many thanks
