Subject:   wi0 wireless compatibility issue?

Has anyone had experience connecting FreeBSD client to a Netgear MR814v2
wireless router?  I picked up one for my sister and decided to give it a
shot here first; I'm able to connect to it fine when under Windows, but
FreeBSD refuses to associate with it.

I suspect that this may be some sort of compatibilty issue, as I've used
this wi0 card to connect to my FreeBSD AP as well as a few other access
points without issue.  (This machine is running -current, but I guess I
could reconfigure my main AP for testing with -stable if necessary.)

If someone can tell me how to dump 802.11 packets for the purpose of
debugging this issue, I'd be happy to do so.

(Note that I have WEP and SSID hiding both enabled on the MR814v2; have
other people found SSID hiding to cause problems with FreeBSD clients?)

Thanks,

Mike "Silby" Silbersack
