First stab at updating wi(4) to reality. Replace wi.4 with wi.4tbl

so we can do tables.

+.Sh NAME
+.Nm wi
+.Nd WaveLAN/IEEE and PRISM-II 802.11DS wireless network driver
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "wi* at pci? dev ? function ?"
+.Cd "wi* at pcmcia? function ?"
+.Cd "wi* at macobio?"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides support for wireless network adapters based on the
+Lucent Technologies WaveLAN/IEEE (aka WaveLAN II) and Intersil
+PRISM-II and PRISM-2.5 chipsets.
+.Pp
+The core of the WaveLAN/IEEE is the Lucent Hermes controller.
+All host/device interaction is via programmed I/O with the Hermes.
+The Hermes supports 802.11 and 802.3 frames, power management, BSS,
+WDS and ad-hoc operation modes.
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+driver encapsulates all IP and ARP traffic as 802.11 frames, however
+it can receive either 802.11 or 802.3 frames.
+Transmit speed is selectable between 1Mbps fixed, 2Mbps fixed, 2Mbps
+with auto fallback, 6Mbps, 8Mbps, or 11Mbps depending on your hardware
+(see above).
+The Lucent WaveLAN/IEEE Silver and Gold cards as well as the Intersil
+cards have support for WEP encryption.
+The WaveLAN Gold and newer Intersil cards support 104bit keys, the others
+only accept 40bit keys.
+The Lucent Bronze cards do not support WEP.
+To enable encryption, use the
+.Xr wicontrol 8
+utility to set your keys.
+.Pp
+By default, the
+.Nm
+driver configures the card for BSS operation (aka infrastructure
+mode).
+This mode requires the use of an access point (base station).
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+driver also supports an ad-hoc (point-to-point) mode where
+the nwid is ignored and stations can communicate amongst
+themselves without the aid of an access point.
+Note that there are two possible ad-hoc modes.
+One mode, referred to as
+.Dq ad-hoc demo mode ,
+predates the IEEE 802.11 specification and so may not interoperate
+with cards from other vendors.
+The standardized ad-hoc mode, also know as IBSS mode, is not
+supported by cards with very old firmware revisions.
+.Pp
+Additionally, cards based on the Intersil PRISM-II and PRISM-2.5 chips 
+have a host-based access point mode which allows the card to
+act as a normal access point (with some assistance from the
+.Nm
+driver).
+This mode is not available on cards that uses the Hermes controller,
+such as those from Lucent.
+.Pp
+For more information on configuring this device, see
+.Xr ifconfig 8 .
+.Pp
+Cards supported by the
+.Nm
+driver come in a variety of packages, though the most common
+are of the PCMCIA type.
+In many cases, the PCI version of a wireless card is simply
+a PCMCIA card bundled with a PCI adapter.
+The PCI adapters come in two flavors: true PCMCIA bridges and
+dumb PCMCIA bridges.
+A true PCMCIA bridge (such as those sold by Lucent) will attach
+as a real PCMCIA controller.
+The wireless card will then attach to the PCMCIA bus.
+Wireless cards in PCMCIA slots may be inserted and ejected on the fly.
+.br
+A dumb bridge, on the other hand, does not show up as a true PCMCIA bus.
+The wireless card will simply appear to the host as a normal PCI
+device and will not require any PCMCIA support.
+Cards in this type of adapter should only be removed when the
+machine is powered down.
+.Pp
+The following cards are among those supported to by
+.Nm
+driver:

+.Pp
+Note that some of the PRISM-II adapters only work at 3.3V, hence
+.Xr cardbus 4
+support is required for those cards to set VCC correctly, even
+though they are really 16bit cards.
+.Pp
+Several vendors sell PCI adapters built around the PLX Technology 9050
+or 9052 chip.
+The following such adapters are supported or expected to work:

+.Sh CAVEATS
+The original Lucent WaveLAN cards usually default to channel 3;
+newer cards use channel 10 by default.
+Non-Lucent cards vary, for instance the Addtron cards use channel
+11 by default.
+See
+.Xr wicontrol 8
+for information on how to change the channel.
