The wi(4) manual page on my FreeBSD 5.4 box states that Prism3 based
cards are supported. Maybe it's possible that a device id needs to be
added. Could you try adding the device id's yourself? You could dig
around in /sys/dev/wi; the files if_wi.c and if_wireg.h look useful.

That could possibly fix it.
