It might be a problem in the rum interface, because the device connects=20
perfectly to the iwi interface in the laptop. Here are ifconfigs for the =

I don't know if the differences are significant, but the first one=20
doesn't work and the second one does.
One other thing: when on Windows (i.e. when it's working), the "link"=20
LED on the rum NIC flashes constantly, as well as the "act" LED. On=20
FreeBSD (when it's not), the "link" LED flashes occasionally (presumably =
when there's data traffic), and the "act" link flashes as constantly as=20
before.
Maybe it has something to do with the missing beacons from my past messag=
es?
The rum(4) man page has a CAVEAT about automatic control of transmit=20
speed but forcing it to DS/1Mbps mode 11b doesn't help (the device is=20
11b-only).
