Hi all,

I'm having hassles with my wifi setup...

I have some gear.

3 cisco cards on 3 freebsd 4.8 boxes
1 cisco 1200 AP
1 linksys wap 11 v2.2 AP

linksys AP & box 1 and 3 are ssid MAGIC
box 2 and ciscoAP ssid = MAGIC-FA

ipv6 link local and site local addresses defined. ignore the site local ftm...

If I set ipv4 addresses on the box1 - linksys - box 3 connect I can 
ping box 1 <-> 3
but not 
ping6 box1 <-> 3

If I change box 3 ssid to MAGIC-FA, i get good ping6 from box2 to box 3....

I'm running dstumbler on a 4th box and the signal strentgh is good, besides it 
works for ipv4...

help!
