Hi Rene,
There's a new version up if you want to give it a go.

http://people.freebsd.org/~benjsc/downloads/

I tested the new tarball on my laptop but dhclient still refuses to associate (it keeps
stuck in the DHCPDISCOVER state). I temporarily switched of the MAC address check of the
router so that any client which knows the WEP password can connect, but that didn't help
either.

I also got some messages about memory not being properly aligned when loading if_wpi.

[...]

I've attached some stuff from /var/log/messages which might be interesting. From what I
understand from these messages, WLAN and Bluetooth (working) reside on the same card.
pciconf and lspci cannot deny nor confirm this.

Regards,
Rene
Please ignore the memory unaligned issues, the driver will reattempt the allocation upon a failure. It's a temporary work around until I can convince uma to reliably give me a 16k aligned page (or fix it in another way). The driver will fail to load if after multiple attempts it still can't get an aligned page.

You are correct, the 3945 chipset provides both bluetooth and 802.11abg support.
As for your failed dhcp attempts I'll work with you off list to fix these.

Cheers,
Benjamin
