Whoops, I think those messages were from without the patch or
something... I think this is what I get with your patch:

wi0 at pcmcia0 function 0: D, Link DWL-650 11Mbps WLAN Card, Version 01.02,
 port 0x400-0x43f
wi0: too many bytes [8, expected 2] reading type 0xFCE0

I haven't gotten around to trying your patch with the latest if_wi.c
either, but I did try out the latest version without your patch, and
it's back to:

wi0 at pcmcia0 function 0: D, Link DWL-650 11Mbps WLAN Card, Version 01.02,
 port 0x400-0x43fwi0: could not get mac address, attach failed

(not surprising). I don't have time to mess with it right now, but maybe
I'll get a chance to look into it later :) (I don't actually have
anything for it to talk to yet anyways; it's the only 11Mb 802.11 device
I have :)
