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.
