I just checked, and it is PR 18794 that concerns two wi in one host. I
can only reproduce it on the Dells. You can query the PR database at
<http://www.netbsd.org/Misc/query-pr.html>.

PR 18794 describes I/O errors between host and radio. I cannot tell from
your report whether that is your trouble or if there are errors on the
medium.  How do you know that I/O errors occur? What sort of I/O errors?
Your problem report is pretty indistinct. I think that if you are more
specific, I can help you better.
