Jouni,
This might shed some light on your card, found it in a
proposed FreeBSD kernel patch here:
http://groups.google.com/groups?q=prism+0x800c&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&selm=20020301221816.A29315_Odin.AC.HMC.Edu%40ns.sol.net&rnum=1
+#define WI_NIC_P2_SST 0x8008 /* Prism2 with SST flush
*/
+#define WI_NIC_PRISM2_5 0x800C
I'm curious what dmesg reports regarding your 0x8008
card, the info on my 0x800c card is actually fairly
verbose.
