I've recently installed Hawking Technologies WP251 PCI cards (based
Prism 2.5) into a FreeBSD 4.6-RC and a W2K server box. I've configured
these as 'adhoc' with 128bit WEP. Everything worked great with very
little messing around.
The only problem I have is that when I reboot the Windows machine, the
FreeBSD box gets confused and will not talk to the Windows box until I
give a nudge.
ifconfig wi0 down
ifconfig wi0 up
does the trick. Is this something I can fix by updating my
configuration or is it a known driver issue? I am including dmesg,
wicontrol and ifconfig output below.
I'd greatly appreciate your thoughts. Cheers,
