not sure if freebsd 5.3 driver is that good. I have open PR 
(http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/71087) for it.

I did this for FreeBSD 5.2.1 to make it work:

It is a hack, but it works fine.
I would say something like this should not go into main Dfly code, but 
something close would make Dfly usable for people with new cards.

Yes, I will gladly test it if you prepare a better patch than my hack.
