I tried this. The only things that wi said were:
wi0: <PRISM2STA PCI WaveLAN/IEEE 802.11> port 
0xc400-0xc43f,0xc000-0xc07f mem 0xec003000-0xec003fff irq 10 at device 
10.0 on pci0
wi0: Ethernet address: 00:e0:29:91:bd:ab
wi0: wi_generic_attach:wi_has_wep = 1

Again, it seems like it's working.

I flashed the SMC bios to version 8.3, and the timeout errors are gone. 
The only problem is that wicontrol and ifconfig say everything is 
working great, and when I ping the interface from the machine it's on I 
get a return, but my PowerBook doesn't see anything now, where it used 
to see the system ID as an available network.

Does anyone know what everything should look like (in wicontrol) so I 
can tell if the card is actually broadcasting or my mac just isn't 
seeing it (which is unlikely, since I know that card works). IE: is 
there any utilities in FreeBSD to measure signal strength, available 
networks, etc?

I'm so close!
