Intersil prism cards should work fine though they may require a firmware
upgrade to ~rev 1.7. Unfortunately you've not shown the boot messages
for the wi device so there's no way to tell what card you have.
Other devices that used to be supported by wi were broken in the vap
conversion. Someone else will need to step up and fix the driver to
support them; I have no time right now.
