Re-plugging and manually ifconfig(8)uring the card brings it up
with nothing but the usual "stray interrupt" messages.

My Powerbook sees the card's station ID, but does not manage to get an
IP via DHCP.

Setup:


[hauke@pizza] /etc # cat ifconfig.bridge0
!brconfig $int add hme0 add wi0
up
[hauke@pizza] /etc # cat ifconfig.wi0
# $Id: ifconfig.wi0,v 1.4 2004/08/29 14:53:16 hauke Exp hauke $
#
# Set up wlan accesspoint

# Be an accesspoint
up chan 11 nwid Forstquelle nwkey "1234567890123" mediaopt hostap
!/usr/sbin/wiconfig $int -A2
[hauke@pizza] /etc #


-- note that I always had to 'ifconfig wi0 down' and then do the
ifconfig/wiconfig dance manually, or the Powerbook would not be able
to get IP connectivity. But now is different.

Starting from scratch by removing the bridge(4), setting up wi0
manually and adding it to the bridge brings back ip connectivity most
of the time. When it finally works, it keeps working.

The machine runs a netbsd-3 build from 18 May with a slightly newer
kernel (see above).

>How-To-Repeat:

Set up a wireless LAN access-point on sparc with a nell(4) pcmcia
adapter and a wi(4) card (prism based). Notice that after a netbsd-3
update, the kernel fails to properly set up the wi(4) card.

>Fix:
	Yes, please.

	Workaround: Unplugging and re-plugging the card, and setting
	up the interface and thge bridge freshly makes it work most of
	the time.
