Copied from dmesg:

FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE-p9

wi0: <Intersil Prism2.5> mem 0xfc000000-0xfc000fff irq 21 at device 0.0 
on pci2
wi0: timeout in wi_cmd 0x0000; event status 0x0000
wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear.
: init failed
device_probe_and_attach: wi0 attach returned 6

Brand new DWL-520 fresh off the shelf. Not to be confused with a 
DWL-520+ which is not a Prism. Already made that mistake (have DWL-520+ 
which needs a new home).

Searched the archives and others with problems apparently got much 
farther into initialization than shown above. For example, others got 
output showing firmware revision.

System is a Dell PowerEdge 400SC P4-2.8G.
