Possible Error in wi(4) (Last Time)

I figured out what the problem was. There was a '.' on a line by itself
from the stuff I pasted in. Erp. I swear, that is the first time that
has ever happened to me.

I may have found an error of sorts in the wi(4) man page. It says that
the Compaq WL110 wireless card has a PRISM-II chipset, thus this entry:

Compaq WL110                          Prism-II      PCMCIA

However, when I inserted the card, I get:

Sep  9 21:48:21 nineveh pccardd[51]: Card "Compaq"("Compaq WL110 PC
Card") [Vers
ion 01.01] [] matched "Compaq" ("Compaq WL110 PC Card") [(null)]
[(null)]

Sep  9 21:48:26 nineveh pccardd[51]: wi0: Compaq (Compaq WL110 PC Card)
inserted

..which, to my eye, sure looks like a Lucent/Hermes chipset. Am I not
seeing something, or is something wrong?
