Any one trying to use wi0 (pci card) on alpha with -current
(1.6ZG)?  ifconfig wi0 inet xxxy.... will crash the box , as
reported: http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-alpha/2003/05/06/0000.html
This is on an AlphaServer 500/333 with  supported card:

Dec 20 04:14:09 casey211 /netbsd: wi0 at pci0 dev 11 function 0: Global Sun Tech GL24110P PCI IEEE 802.11b (rev. 0x02)

Dec 20 04:14:09 casey211 /netbsd: wi0: 802.11 address 00:60:b3:74:30:3c
Dec 20 04:14:09 casey211 /netbsd: wi0: using RF:PRISM2 MAC:HFA3841 CARD:HWB3163 rev.A
Dec 20 04:14:09 casey211 /netbsd: wi0: Intersil Firmware: Primary (0.3.0), Station (0.8.3)
Dec 20 04:14:09 casey211 /netbsd: wi0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps

wireless options on alpha are quite limited in NetBSD -with no ISA/ESIA 
slots.
They make excellent wireless gateway or router boxes.
I would think fixing this is important.
