yes, see:

http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sys/dev/ic/if_wi.c?rev=1.67&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup

search for "sc->wi_ibss_port = htole16"

(sorry, i meant ibss when i said bss).

for Lucent cards it's 1, for Prism2/Intersil it's 0, and for Prism2/Symbol it's 4.

David Young (dyoung@ojctech.com, dyoung@pobox.com) has ported the OpenBSD
wi(4) changes, and some of the FreeBSD ones to NetBSD:

There has been some discussion about this, and about trying to unify the
*BSD wi drivers a bit more on the bsd-wireless mailing list:
