Better than it was, but I still get a lot:
rasputin@shikima rasputin]$dmesg|grep 'wi0: timeout in wi_cmd 11'|wc -l
226
rasputin@shikima rasputin]$uptime
12:27PM up 3:48, 1 user, load averages: 0.01, 0.02, 0.00
That's a fair amount of noise generated
- the daily root emails are massive :)
Can I just chec kwith people - has anyone got a broken card?
Mine works just as fast as it ever did, it's not broken or anything -
it's just the fact that the diagnostic output fogs up logging of
other events I have a problem with.
If only the Lucent cards are affected, would it make sense to put
a special-case workaround for them? Or are other non Prisms affected?
Should also point out that this is a Lucent Orinoco silver card
on an ISA PCMCIA adapter - possibly that's related?

All syllogisms have three parts, therefore this is not a syllogism.
