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

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