Whoops! Sorry for the lack of a subject in the last post, folks. ;-)
Can anyone help with this, please?
After inserting the D-Link card you should probably run a quick 'ifconfig ath0' to see if you have a new network-interface - the 'ath' driver is a generic part of the generic kernel, so if you havn't done any changes to your local kernel you should not need to 'kldload if_ath' (to load the appropriate kernel module).
I have the same pc-card, but I did a bit off kernel-modding, so I manually load the 'ath' module ... I'm running an IBM R51 with the build in Intel2200 ('iwi'), but the Atheros chipset of the DWL-650 is more flexible and better supported for certain things.
I'm afraid that ath is NOT in Generic in 6.0 nor is it in 6.1-RC or 6-stable. It's not even in Current. (I'm not sure why this is the case.)
You will need to add it to you kernel config or 'kldload if_ath'. If you always want it to load, add the line 'if_ath_load="YES"' to /boot/loader.conf.
Whether this will fix the problem, I can't say, as I don't know if the DWL-650 you have uses an ath chip.
Also, pccard_enable is obsolete in V6. It was used with OLDCARD in earlier version of FreeBSD, but the CardBus code does not use it.
