I have a Lucent WaveLan Gold card, I flashed it about one month ago on
my windows pc. The card is working but when I do a "wiconfig wi0" I get
the following :

May 23 01:38:17 c5179-a /netbsd: wi0: wi_getdef: unknown request 64847
May 23 01:38:17 c5179-a /netbsd: wi0: wi_getdef: unknown request 64778
May 23 01:38:17 c5179-a /netbsd: wi0: wi_getdef: unknown request 64833
May 23 01:38:17 c5179-a /netbsd: wi0: wi_getdef: unknown request 64834
May 23 01:38:17 c5179-a /netbsd: wi0: wi_getdef: unknown request 64784
May 23 01:38:17 c5179-a /netbsd: wi0: wi_getdef: unknown request 64961
May 23 01:38:17 c5179-a /netbsd: wi0: wi_getdef: unknown request 64835
May 23 01:38:17 c5179-a /netbsd: wi0: wi_getdef: unknown request 64645
May 23 01:38:17 c5179-a /netbsd: wi0: wi_getdef: unknown request 64836


I am assuming the wiconfig is trying to enumerate the features and
settings of the card and these particular features do not exist. Any
body know exactly why this is happening?

Here is my wiconfig output:
