GENERIC hpcmips 4.0.1 kernel
>Description:
A wireless card, made by Proxim and labelled "Harmony 802.11b PC Card" does not function properly under NetBSD/hpcmips, whereas it DOES function properly under NetBSD/i386.

The card is found and activated properly, however, when trying to connect to or scan for APs, it merely "goes through the motions" but never connects or finds anything, as if the entire radio section of the card is not responding while everything else is. No errors are mentioned upon attachment of the card, and no amount of attaching, detaching, resetting, etc will cause the card to function correctly.

This occurs on both an:
 NEC MobilePro 750c
 NEC MobilePro 880
>How-To-Repeat:
I purchased this card from WeirdStuff some time ago for fairly cheap, I haven't checked but they may still have in stock, if they do then one could be had to run tests with.
>Fix:
Not known.

 I can't recall precisely off the top of my head but I'm fairly sure it
 attaches with wi(4)

 I just started it up, and it is indeed attached as wi(4).
