OBSD 3.9 RTL8185 WIFI Finding Access Point and Setup

RTL8185 WIFI Card on OpenBSD 3.9 in a Thinkpad 600e

Dmesg: 
rtw0 at cardbus1 dev 0 function 0 irq 11
rtw0: ver RTL8185, radio RTL8225, address
00:0e:2e:8a:3a:4d

#ifconfig -M rtw0 results in "none"

I tried using Kismet which runs but for some reason
doesn't find the Access Point either and fills dmesg
with a lot of "rtw0: unknown rate #'s" until you exit
kismet.

I put the same "new" WIFI card in another Thinkpad
running XP Pro and it worked flawlessly. 

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! - Mike
