With today's sources, which I believe includes this code, the wi
interface on my iBook (dual USB) is crankier than it was before. It's
been rock-solid since the wi at obio support went in. It probes as:

wi0 at obio0 offset 0x30000 irq 57: 802.11 address 00:30:65:01:4a:e0
wi0: using Lucent chip or unknown chip

Today, several times I've gotten the following string of messages, and then
lost my connection until I ifconfig'd down and back up.

I use the connection for NFS, ssh, web surfing.. pretty normal-ish
workstation load.
