wpi problems with latest CURRENT: my old laptop air-gapped :)

[Lev Serebryakov]

Hello Freebsd-wireless,


 I have old Sony Vaio with wpi WiFi card:

wpi0 at pci0:6:0:0:        class=0x028000 card=0x10508086 chip=0x42228086 rev=0x02 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
    device     = 'PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection'
    class      = network


 It worked with -CURRENT from ~ Nov 2014 (it complained about callbacks, but
worked rather well!) but after update to r281061, it stops to work.

 Driver (and wpa_supplicant!) complains to console several times per second:

  This laptop is really old (SATA1 disk, first-gen Core2Duo CPU, 2GB of RAM)
 so re-building system takes hours :(

  But I could provide additional debug information.
