FWIW, I've been seeing errors, but things seem to be working,
wi0: <Intersil Prism2.5> mem 0xfffbf000-0xfffbffff irq 10 at device 19.0 on pci0
wi0: 802.11 address: 00:09:5b:69:95:74
wi0: using RF:PRISM2.5 MAC:ISL3874A(Mini-PCI)
wi0: Intersil Firmware: Primary 1.00.07, Station 1.03.06
Here are recent errors,
wi0: timeout in wi_seek to 14b/3c; last status 403c
wi0: timeout in wi_seek to 14b/3c; last status 403c
wi0: timeout in wi_seek to 14b/3c; last status 403c
wi0: timeout in wi_seek to 14b/3c; last status 403c
wi0: timeout in wi_seek to 14b/3c; last status 403c
wi0: timeout in wi_seek to 14b/3c; last status 403c
wi0: timeout in wi_seek to 14b/3c; last status 403c
But things chug along.
I do know that trying to disable hostap mode once it is enabled seems
to get the card in a totally unstable state.
As an aside, I have a Netgear PCMCIA wi0 that gets locked up after a
few hours of use on a RELENG_4_8 box. A 'pccardc power 0 0; sleep 30;
pccardc power 0 1' seems to fix that.
