I am hoping that the reliability will improve if I set up the -stable machine to use hostap mode. To this end, I upgraded -stable to the latest earlier today to get Warner's latest MFCed code. Unfortunately when I try to ifconfig wi0 ... mediaopt hostap I get ifconfig: SIOCSIFMEDIA: Device not configured Any thoughts on why this might be happing? I am using pair of Hawking WP251 PCI cards. I am including relevant messages below.
