I was able to trim the list by some experimenting:

So: the above set of changes makes the difference between my wi0 device
being seen (or not) during kernel probes.

The probe messages from this latest (successful) boot related to the wi0
device are:

ata0-slave: pio=PIO4 wdma=WDMA2 udma=UDMA33 cable=40 wire
pcib2: pccard2 requested memory range 0xf4000000-0xfbffffff: good
pccard2: CIS version PC Card Standard 5.0
pccard2: CIS info: Dell, TrueMobile 1150 Series PC Card, Version 01.01, 
pccard2: Manufacturer code 0x156, product 0x2
pccard2: function 0: network adapter, ccr addr 3e0 mask 1
pccard2: function 0, config table entry 1: I/O card; irq mask ffff; iomask 6, iospace 0-3f; io16 irqpulse irqlevel
pcib2: pccard2 requested I/O range 0xe000-0xffff: in range
pcib2: pccard2 requested memory range 0xf4000000-0xfbffffff: good
wi0: <Dell TrueMobile 1150 Series PC Card> at port 0xe000-0xe03f irq 11 function 0 config 1 on pccard2
wi0: [MPSAFE]
wi0: [ITHREAD]
wi0: using Lucent Embedded WaveLAN/IEEE
wi0: Lucent Firmware: Station (6.14.1)
wi0: bpf attached
wi0: Ethernet address: 00:02:2d:5b:2c:78

wi0: bpf attached
wi0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps
ata0-master: pio=PIO4 wdma=WDMA2 udma=UDMA100 cable=80 wire

The corresponding messages from a boot that fails to see wi0:

ata0-slave: pio=PIO4 wdma=WDMA2 udma=UDMA33 cable=40 wire
pcib2: pccard2 requested memory range 0xf4000000-0xfbffffff: good
cbb2: set_res_flags: specified resource not active
CIS is too long -- truncating
cbb2: set_res_flags: specified resource not active
pccard2: Card has no functions!
cbb2: PC Card card activation failed
ata0-master: pio=PIO4 wdma=WDMA2 udma=UDMA100 cable=80 wire

Thanks for suggestions; still willing to test.

Peace,
david
