[RFT] Intel 3945abg wireless driver (wpi)

Howdy All, I'm pleased to announce the first 'official' experimental version of the wpi wireless driver and hence require your help in making it become stable.
Expect a few things not to work (ie bg scanning, setting txpower) but in general the driver should be usable in station mode (hostap is not yet supported).

If you've got an Intel 3945abg wireless card, grab the tarball at:

http://people.freebsd.org/~benjsc/downloads/wpi/20071102-freebsd-wpi.tar.gz

Untar and follow the instructions in the README.
If you want more info about the driver, or to checkout the FAQ checkout:

http://www.clearchain.com/wiki/Wpi

I'm interested in all reports related to panics, things not working as expected, etc.
The driver still has debug enabled so expect a few messages to be dumped to the screen whilst in use.

Finally, many thanks to all those that have been helping debug the driver along the way.

Cheers,
Benjamin
