This delay is needed on far too many cards to just delete it.

: 1363,1364c1363,1364
: <               device_printf(sc->dev, "timeout in wi_seek to %x/%x; last 
: status %x\n",
: <                       id, off, status);

this isn't a fix.

The big problem is that we have a horrible reset policy in the wi
driver.  When it gets into this state, we're screwing the system into
the ground in the driver.
