Well, USENIX is the first time I've needed to run in non-'ad-hoc' mode,
and also the first time I've seen any contention for wireless bandwidth.

I'm seein REALLY odd behavior when I put my wi0 into promiscuous mode..

When it goes promiscuous, 'wicontrol' shows that the Current netname (SSID)
gets reset, the BSSID goes to all 4's (ie:  44:44:44:44:44:44) and my net
connection goes into the toilet.

Any ideas on what is happening?
