This does indeed avoid the panic. So now that I can kldload if_wpi,
what can we do about the card not attaching properly?

wpi0: <Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG> irq 18 at device 0.0 on pci6
wpi0: Driver Revision 20071127
wpi0: 0x1000 bytes of rid 0x10 res 3 failed (0, 0xffffffff).
wpi0: could not allocate memory resource
device_attach: wpi0 attach returned 6
