After I use "-p 3" option, it cannot talk to Linux/Windows ad-hoc wireless station. But if I set it to "-p 4", it can do the job. However, I cannot find this option in wicontrol man page or anywhere. Could somebody explain me what's going on here? Moreover, could somebody give me a hint what is the corresponding function in FreeBSD like "rdtscl" function in Linux, which returns me the cpu ticks elapsed?
