Returning from my vacation, I notice that my problem is somewhat different
from what some of you other guys describe. I cant get a wpi-device to work
with at all.

Booting without acpi makes no differens.
Applying patch wpi_releng7.diff makes no differens.

Before I load if_wpi, pciconf says
none0 at pci0:8:0:0:       class=0x028000 card=0x135c103c chip=0x42228086 
rev=0x02 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
    device     = '10418086 Intel 3945ABG Wireless LAN controller'
    class      = network
and after 
wpi0 at pci0:8:0:0:        class=0x028000 card=0x135c103c chip=0x42228086 
rev=0x02 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
    device     = '10418086 Intel 3945ABG Wireless LAN controller'
    class      = network
but still no wpi0 present.

So, would it help to buy more memory, and if I do, where should I put it?
