OK; I finally got around to building & booting today's CURRENT:

g1-1(8.0-C)[1] uname -a
FreeBSD g1-1.catwhisker.org. 8.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT #588: Sun Nov 11 13:33:03 PST 2007     root_at_g1-1.catwhisker.org.:/common/S4/obj/usr/src/sys/CANARY  i386
g1-1(8.0-C)[2] 

As expected:

* No panic trying to probe or use the wi0 NIC.

* But it (still) doesn't associate, either:

(The an0 NIC works, though it seems to lose connectivity; running
through the script I cobbled up to get the NIC associated seems to
help,, though I sometimes need to ifconfig it  down, then up first.)

This behavior is the same for me in HEAD & RELENG_7; for RELENG_6, the
wi0 NIC (which in my laptop's case is a miniPCI card) works fine.

Peace,
