Better than it was, but I still get a lot:

rasputin@shikima rasputin]$dmesg|grep 'wi0: timeout in wi_cmd 11'|wc -l
     226
rasputin@shikima rasputin]$uptime
12:27PM  up  3:48, 1 user, load averages: 0.01, 0.02, 0.00

That's a fair amount of noise generated
 - the daily root emails are massive :)

Can I just chec kwith people - has anyone got a broken card?
Mine works just as fast as it ever did, it's not broken or anything -
it's just the fact that the diagnostic output fogs up logging of
other events I have a problem with.

If only the Lucent cards are affected, would it make sense to put
a special-case workaround for them? Or are other non Prisms affected?

Should also point out that this is a Lucent Orinoco silver card 
on an ISA PCMCIA adapter - possibly that's related?
