Adding 41001385 as another alternative PCI device match in /sys/i386/isa/if_wi.c works. It didn't work before because the card wasn't jammed all the way in the slot. :-) So it would appear that PrismII vendors all tend to do the same thing, but with different vendor/device ID numbers. This means that if_wi should really have some sort of list of them that is easily extendable. I will see what I can do and contact the wi maintainer, if there is one.
