I have a Satellite 2805-S201, and do not have these problems.  Warner
Losh has been making fixes for the ToPIC100 handling code on a Satellite
2805-S201 recently.  They have not been committed to -STABLE yet.  I
don't know if they have been committed to -CURRENT yet.  If your laptop
is not exactly the Satellite 2805-S201, you might be a perfect candidate
for testing those patches.

I have two wi cards, a Netgear MA401 and an Orinoco Silver.  Both work
very well on my machine.  I last installworlded on about Jun 13, 2002.

I'll start the update process now just to make sure a problem hasn't 
crept in since then.

Like I said, there should be no problem.  You will have to be more
specific.

/var/run/dmesg.boot, any IRQ assignment errors which have been logged...
etc.
