 src/sys/dev/wi/if_wi.c,v 1.103.2.5 2003/08/07 04:31:14
but after upgrade to FreeBSD 4.10-STABLE with the following wi driver sources:
 src/sys/dev/src/sys/dev/wi/if_wireg.h,v 1.31.2.3 2004/05/18 06:57:33
 src/sys/dev/wi/if_wi.c,v 1.103.2.6 2004/05/18 06:57:33

 src/sys/dev/wi/if_wi.c,v 1.103.2.5 2003/08/07 04:31:14
