Yes. That's who I saw say something also.
: wi0: timeout in wi_cmd 0x0000; event status 0x0000
: wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear: init failed

Any other messages?

Not currently as such. There's a primitive loader in the driver right
now to deal with the symbol cards that need firmware uploaded to
them. Also, the prism2_srec tool is generally for flashing new
firmware, not RAM images (well, I should go look at it again, since
I've not looked at it in a while).
