This is very old firmware...

: wi0: timeout in wi_cmd 0x0002; event status 0x0008

Disable the card failed.

: wi0: timeout in wi_cmd 0x0000; event status 0x0008

Initialize the card.

Which is a little weird, because 0x0008 means 'async alloc/reclaim
completed'  Ah, the CMD bit (0x10) wasn't set quickly enough.  Hmmm,
maybe the delay tweaks I put in have broken this.
