For example, my "D-Link Air" DWL-650, which is is the former:

wi0 at pcmcia1 function 0: <D, Link DWL-650 11Mbps WLAN Card, Version 01.02, >
pcic0: port 0x400-0x43f
pcmcia1: card irq 5
wi0: 802.11 address 00:40:05:de:40:13
wi0: using RF:PRISM2 MAC:HFA3841 CARD:HWB3163-SST-flash
wi0: Intersil Firmware: Primary (0.3.0), Station (1.3.4)
wi0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps

(these messages from 3.1 i386; it is not convenient to get out the z50
at the moment).

If anyone wants to take this advice, I'll be happy to take your
"completely impracticel useless" z50 off your hands!
