It wasn't until discovering that "ifconfig wi0 scan" just sits there doing nothing that I began to suspect the new wlan infrastructure. So, is anybody working on the wi driver currently? I'm game for taking a stab at implementing those but I don't want to duplicate any effort that's already underway. I also wanted to check because maybe there are some gotchas that resulted in it not being implemented in the first place :) Craig
