I'm a little confused by the names your using.  I've been referring
to the pre 802.11 2.4/900 DEC/Lucent cards (the ones with the modem
that is seperate from the pccard) as the WaveLAN cards.  The
if_wi driver is for the next generation from Lucent that are supposed
to be 802.11 DS.

Are you talking about the lucent 802.11 or the previous generation
WaveLAN cards?

Thanks,
Chris.
