Hi,

Im running:

4.7-STABLE FreeBSD 4.7-STABLE #4: Wed Oct 16 20:54:37 BST 2002

with:

wi0: <Intersil Prism2.5> mem 0xffbef000-0xffbeffff irq 11 at device 19.0
on pci0
wi0: 802.11 address: 00:05:5d:ee:23:57
wi0: using RF:PRISM2.5 MAC:ISL3874A(Mini-PCI)
wi0: Intersil Firmware: Primary 1.00.05, Station 1.03.04

Being set up with:

ifconfig_wi0="inet 192.168.10.254  netmask 255.255.255.0 mediaopt hostap
ssid gate channel 3"

That works flawlessly, until a connected machine is idle network 
wise for a few minutes. The client machine disconnects and then
immediately reconnects to the hostap box. Same machines don't do
this on a "real" access point. Any ideas anyone?
