>Description:

After a kernel update to -current as of a few hours ago, the wi driver stopped
working completely.

I use this card:

wi0 at pcmcia0 function 0: Lucent Technologies, WaveLAN/IEEE, Version 01.01
wi0: 802.11 address 00:02:2d:21:0f:64
wi0: using Lucent Technologies, WaveLAN/IEEE
wi0: Lucent Firmware: Station (8.10.1)
wi0: supported rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps

and this /etc/ifconfig.wi0:

192.168.XXX.X down
nwid "MartinAtHome" nwkey 1:XXXXX,XXXXX,XXXXX,XXXXX mediaopt adhoc
up

Peer is a system running a few days older -current and using the same kind of
card.

At boot time, the card is initialized, but the blinkenlights do not turn on.
Ifconfig shows UP and RUNNING, but that's not true ;-)
When I ifconfig down/up the card, the lights start blinking, but the card is
not able to communicate with the peer (driven by a slightly older version
of the wi driver).

Oh well, back to ethernet.

>How-To-Repeat:
Use a lucent silver card.
