Comment (by Pete):

 I assume my experience is related.  I just got an iprowifi4965 card
 installed in my laptop, understanding it was compatible, but when I booted
 up it failed to appear in the Network Prefs (or in ifconfig's list).
 Rebooting (several times) didn't change things.

 On Stefano's suggestion (via mailing list), I just did 'ifconfig
 /dev/net/iprowifi4965/0 up' and -- gosh! -- I now have wifi!  If that's
 ''supposed'' to be needed this is not documented anywhere.  Anyhow, we'll
 see if it stays up.

 In any case, for completeness, I've attached the section of syslog for the
 wifi from the boot before I got it working.
