FWIW, I've been seeing errors, but things seem to be working,

  wi0: <Intersil Prism2.5> mem 0xfffbf000-0xfffbffff irq 10 at device 19.0 on pci0
  wi0: 802.11 address: 00:09:5b:69:95:74
  wi0: using RF:PRISM2.5 MAC:ISL3874A(Mini-PCI)
  wi0: Intersil Firmware: Primary 1.00.07, Station 1.03.06

Here are recent errors,

  wi0: timeout in wi_seek to 14b/3c; last status 403c
  wi0: timeout in wi_seek to 14b/3c; last status 403c
  wi0: timeout in wi_seek to 14b/3c; last status 403c
  wi0: timeout in wi_seek to 14b/3c; last status 403c
  wi0: timeout in wi_seek to 14b/3c; last status 403c
  wi0: timeout in wi_seek to 14b/3c; last status 403c
  wi0: timeout in wi_seek to 14b/3c; last status 403c

But things chug along.

I do know that trying to disable hostap mode once it is enabled seems
to get the card in a totally unstable state.

As an aside, I have a Netgear PCMCIA wi0 that gets locked up after a
few hours of use on a RELENG_4_8 box. A 'pccardc power 0 0; sleep 30;
pccardc power 0 1' seems to fix that.
