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.
