In fact, the link kept going down even without wpa. Every few seconds or so. ping showed a 7% packet loss. And under XP it still worked reasonably well. Anyway, I still don't know what the problem was, but it disappeared when replacing the AP (the old one kept losing all settings from flash -- I decided it was at the end of its physical life). The new one connected in one go (maybe 3 minutes, including reboot to see if rc.conf and looader.conf changes worked). Let me know if there's interest to dig deeper -- the symptoms aren't all consistent with an AP failure. My curiosity may prod me to do so in the interest of improved code. Cheers, Peter
