FWIW, another data point.  At some point in the last few months my
last problems with Lucent cards went away, I thought.  Then I put a
different card in and had problems again: the boot wouldn't complete.
Here are the results of the two probes:

Dec 12 11:04:06 adelaide kernel: wi0: <Lucent Technologies WaveLAN/IEEE> at port 0x100-0x13f irq 10 function 0 config 1 on pccard0
Dec 12 11:04:06 adelaide kernel: wi0: 802.11 address: 00:02:2d:04:09:3a

Dec 12 11:04:06 adelaide kernel: wi0: bad alloc 4c2 != ff, cur 0 nxt 0

Despite the error message, this card works fine.  The other one is:

Dec 11 11:49:14 adelaide kernel: wi0: 802.11 address: 00:02:2d:28:d3:6e

Dec 11 11:49:27 adelaide kernel: wi0: bad alloc 633 != 1e3, cur 0 nxt 0

This one continues with messages like:

Dec 12 11:26:40 adelaide kernel: wi0: timeout in wi_cmd 0x0002; event status 0x8080
Dec 12 11:26:40 adelaide kernel: wi0: timeout in wi_cmd 0x0121; event status 0x8080

Dec 12 11:26:40 adelaide kernel: wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear.

This continues until I remove the card, when I get

Dec 12 11:26:40 adelaide kernel: wi0: detached

After the final message, the system unlocks.


Apart from the different firmware level, the second card has only 40
bit WEP, while the first one has 104 bit WEP.

I'm not too fussed about the situation, since the gold card works
fine, but if you want me to try something out, I can do so.
