But it's a standard WaveLAN/Orinico card, which is what the wi driver is
intended for?
I never had to worry about any of this when I had the old white/bronze
2mbit wavelan cards, but with silver and gold cards, its been nothing
but fun and games....

I guess you will have to "suffer" with higher than expected data rates?
8-) 8-).
Actually, I think it's because the card you are using has a different
set of mappings than the firmware for which the commands were intended,
and the driver you are using (wi0) "happens" to work with the card,
despite the different firmware. but the "magic" features don't.
