>Description:
I'm using NetBSD complied with GENERIC_LAPTOP. To use wireless of
ThinkPAD X30, I added the following to GENERIC_LAPTOP.

wi*     at pci? dev ? function ?        # Intersil Prism Mini-PCI (802.11b)

I don't know my configuration is related to this bug.

>How-To-Repeat:
Type "wiconfig wi0".
