The PRISM-II has apparently some compatibility with Lucent WaveLAN/IEEE.
I can drive Corega's one (http://www.corega.co.jp -- in Japanese) with
"wi" driver (not "awi") with some modifications in probe routine.

But it is not fully compatible with Silver/Gold card, and WEP is not
working.  wiconfig(8) shows WEP encryption is always "On", cannot toggle
to "Off", but no encryption will be made on wire.
