>Description:
	Had a few issues with the an(4) driver now.  Firstly, it didn't like
	the version 5 firmware of my cisco card.  No problem, I understand
	that's quite a lot of work, so downgraded to version 4 as per some
	mailing list archive advice.  This should work ok, but does not.

		an0 at pcmcia0 function 0: Cisco Systems, 350 Series Wireless LAN Adapter
		an0: Cisco Systems 350 Series (firmware 4.25.23)
		an0: 802.11 address: 00:0d:29:02:37:8b, channel: 1-11
		an0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps

	After configuring correctly I can do basic network pings etc, but as
	soon as I try to do anything more (ftp some files, www browsing), I
	get:

		an0: discarding oversize frame (len=1516)
		an0: discarding oversize frame (len=1516)
		an0: discarding oversize frame (len=1516)
		[...etc...]

	and nothing sent through for that connection, although I can still
	ping etc.

	I've tried various media settings etc, but not managed to get it
	working correctly.  The card works fine in Linux and FreeBSD, if
	that helps at all :-)
