Seeing:

Oct 15 21:57:00 netpunk pccardd[104]: Found existing driver (wi) for Lucent Technologies 

on the second insert, made me check my kernel config, and I noticed I'd left
out the wi device entirely...so preloading if_wi.ko in loader.conf fixes "the
problem"...sorry, PEBCAK here. However, is it *supposed* to work even if the
kld/device driver isn't preloaded?

Thanks for the help.
