For completeness... everything works great now:

Card 1, default firmware shown:
wi0: <SMC SMC2532W-B EliteConnect Wireless Adapter> at port
0xd000-0xd07f irq 18 function 0 config 1 on pccard0
wi0: using RF:PRISM3(PCMCIA)
wi0: Intersil Firmware: Primary (1.1.1), Station (1.8.2)
wi0: Ethernet address: 00:04:e2:81:e6:43

Card 2, downgraded firmware to work in hostap mode with a PCI bridge
controller and kismet.
wi0: <SMC SMC2532W-B EliteConnect Wireless Adapter> at port
0xd000-0xd07f irq 18 function 0 config 1 on pccard0
