Following up on Bruce's suggestion, then, I reverted the files that
appeared most likely to be involved to 20 Mar 2007 03:00 (US/Pacific;
currently 7 hrs. west of UTC) and re-built the kernel.

A reboot following that exercise yields a functioning wi0:

wi0: flags=3D8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
        ether 00:02:2d:5b:2c:78
        inet 10.2.164.133 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.2.164.255
        media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (DS/11Mbps)
        status: associated
        ssid maps-a channel 11 bssid 00:0c:41:13:59:67
        stationname "FreeBSD WaveLAN/IEEE node"
        authmode OPEN privacy MIXED deftxkey 1 wepkey 1:104-bit txpowmax 100
        bmiss 7 bintval 100

Here's a list of the files I reverted (pruned from a list of files that
were updated in yesterday's build process), together with the revision
level I'm using & the current revision level:

File				wi0 OK	no wi0
sys/dev/acpica/acpi.c		1.231	1.233
sys/i386/bios/smapi.c		1.13	1.14
sys/i386/bios/smbios.c		1.5	1.6
sys/i386/bios/vpd.c		1.5	1.6
sys/i386/i386/io_apic.c		1.32	1.33
sys/i386/i386/legacy.c		1.61	1.62
sys/i386/i386/local_apic.c	1.38	1.39
sys/i386/i386/nexus.c		1.69	1.71
sys/i386/include/apicvar.h	1.22	1.23
sys/i386/include/specialreg.h	1.38	1.39

Now, I'll freely admit that I'm not a kernel hacker.  I'm willing
to test code though.  Any suggestions for changes to test?  (I can
also provide more detailed information about the laptop -- it's a
Dell Inspiron 8200 -- off-list;  as before, I'd rather not spam the
list too much.)

Thanks!

Peace,
david
