wi (Lucent) panics on ifconfig wi0 up

[knowtree at aloha.com]

I have been using the same Lucent Gold pc-card for years, most recently
with FreeBSD 7. Over the weekend I redid my Fujitsu T-1010 hard drive,
Vista upgrade to Win7, FreeBSD upgrade (fresh install) to 8.0, and added
Ubuntu 9.10. Struggling to get either boot0 or Ubuntu's grub to see all
three, thought I would install grub from ports since it ought to have the
menu info for FreeBSD.Seems odd that Ubuntu's automatic grub menu generator
sees Win7 but misses FreeBSD, maybe my partition scheme is messed up.

While manually fiddling with ifconfig my system would panic, consistently,
on ifconfig wi0 up. This is a fresh install, no changes to KMs, no proc
file system, just straight out of the box. Is there something I need to
configure to get the wi driver working? The card is recongnized when
inserted, the basic entry appears in the ifconfig listing.
