I can reproduce the issue with exactly the same symptoms.  I supped the day 
before yesterday and my build completed yesterday (slow notebook).  However, 
my card didn't stop being recognized until several hours -after- I had booted 
the new system.

I've been through several kernel rebuilds today in an attempt to fix it.

The CIS info reported when the debugging sysctls are set is absolutely 
correct, and maps to info in pccarddevs.  The driver is simply not noticing 
the card, but -- here's the kicker -- most other cards work.  It seems to be 
an issue with wi.

Anyone else getting this?  I'm supping and rebuilding in the hope of a fix.
