>Description:

	when attempting to upgrade a working older orinoco-base card in 
	my sparc classic with nell to a newer prism2.5 based intersil
	card, wi stops working.  there is a diagnostic that it fails to
	reset in wi_reset() at boottime and also if i try to configure
	the device... it seemingly does not talk on the network at all.

dmesg for working card:
	wi0 detached
