I've got a Linksys WMP11 wireless PCI card. It is recognized under -STABLE, but not -CURRENT. wi_alloc() seems to fail at bus_alloc_resource() while requesting I/O memory. I'm not familiar with this part of the code, so I'm sure what actually gets called in this case. Does this sound familiar

Hi, Here's the final fstat(1) patch which obeys the '-n' switch. Inodes have a lot on info, so the output is very long. Please nit pick on the code, including any style(9) violations you see. Bakul, I really like your stat -a because the output is compact, but it's not as readable. /me
