Cool.  From OpenBSD's wi(4) manpage:

"The wi driver provides support for PCMCIA adapters based on the
Lucent Technologies WaveLAN/IEEE (aka WaveLAN II) and Intersil PRISM-II"

So I guess they'll work, and should also work with NetBSD/FreeBSD and
Linux.  Of course, you'd have to test them to make sure...

Thanks,
