Somebody showed me one of these at USENIX and asked me to make it
work for them. You need the latest if_wi driver from -stable or
-current, but it will work. These are PRISM II cards. The only
glitch is that reading the station address during the driver attach
phase sometimes fails, so I tweaked the driver to try reading it
twice. This is why you need the latest 4.3-STABLE or 5.0-CURRENT
driver.
