prism 2.5 mini-pci issues

[Peter Radcliffe]

I tried my intel/xircom prism 2.5 mini-pci card again, yesterday,
with -stable.

wi0: <Intersil Prism2.5> mem 0xf8000000-0xf8000fff irq 11 at device 2.0 on pci1
wi0: 802.11 address: 00:05:3c:06:34:c9
wi0: using RF:PRISM2.5 MAC:ISL3874A(Mini-PCI)
wi0: Intersil Firmware: Primary 1.01.00, Station 1.04.09

It behaved itself for a while and then got very unhappy;

wi0: timeout in wi_cmd 0x010b; event status 0x0000
wi0: xmit failed
wi0: watchdog timeout
wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear.
wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear.
wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear.
wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear.
wi0: init failed
wi0: timeout in wi_seek to fc07/0; last status 800b
wi0: timeout in wi_seek to fc00/0; last status 800b
wi0: timeout in wi_seek to fc81/0; last status 800b
wi0: timeout in wi_seek to fc83/0; last status 800b
wi0: timeout in wi_cmd 0x010b; event status 0x0000
wi0: xmit failed
wi0: watchdog timeout
wi0: timeout in wi_cmd 0x0002; event status 0x0000
wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear.
wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear.
wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear.
wi0: init failed

The machine hung up for a little while during some of the failures but
after it started having issues it never really recovered.
